Ample Make This Bed

AMPLE make this bed.

Make this bed with awe;   

In it wait till judgment break  

Excellent and fair.     

 

Be its mattress straight,            

Be its pillow round;   

Let no sunrise’ yellow noise    

Interrupt this ground.

Emily Dickinson

And more Emily Dickinson below:

Pray gather me anemone!

His caravan of red

Me-come! My dazzled face  

Develops pearl and weed

But peers beyond her mesh

Surgeons must be very careful

Water is taught by thirst

I could not prove that years had feet

April played her fiddle

A violin in Baize replaced

I think the longest hour

The spirit lasts
