by Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)
Angels, in the early morning
Language: English
Angels, in the early morning May be seen the Dews among, Stooping — plucking — smiling — flying — Do the Buds to them belong? Angels, when the sun is hottest May be seen the sands among, Stooping — plucking — sighing — flying — Parched the flowers they bear along.
