Veckans dikt

Jag bjuder er den amerikanska poeten Emily Dickinson. Hon levde på 1800-talet och gav ut bara en liten del av alla dikter hon skrev. Hennes sista önskan var att alla dikter skulle brännas, men Emilys syster gick emot den önskan och publicerade dikterna.

Out of the Morning

Will there really be a morning?
Is there such a thing as day?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like water-lilies?
Has it feathers like a bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?

Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor!
Oh, some wise man from the skies!
Please to tell a little pilgrim
Where the place called morning lies!
