The Sun -- just touched the Morning by Emily Dickinson
The Sun -- just touched the Morning -- The Morning -- Happy thing -- Supposed that He had come to dwell -- And Life would all be Spring!
She felt herself supremer -- A Raised -- Ethereal Thing! Henceforth -- for Her -- What Holiday! Meanwhile -- Her wheeling King -- Trailed -- slow -- along the Orchards -- His haughty -- spangled Hems -- Leaving a new necessity! The want of Diadems!
The Morning -- fluttered -- staggered -- Felt feebly -- for Her Crown -- Her unanointed forehead -- Henceforth -- Her only One!
