Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

The Daisy follows soft the Sun -
And when his golden walk is done -
Sits shyly at his feet -
He - waking - finds the flower there -
Wherefore - Marauder - art thou here?
Because, Sir, love is sweet!

We are the Flower - Thou the Sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline -
We nearer steal to Thee!
Enamored of the parting West -
The peace - the flight - the Amethyst -
Night's possibility!

1. Love’s Baptism
2. A Service of Song
3. Resurrection
4. The Heart Asks Pleasure First
5. To Fight Aloud Is Very Brave
