Poems by Women

Wild Nights! Wild Nights!

Emily Dickinson [1830-1886]

Wild Nights - Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile - the Winds--
To a Heart in port--
Done with the Compass--
Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden--
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor - Tonight--
In Thee!
