A WIFE - AT DAYBREAK I SHALL BE - by Emily Dickinson

A WIFE -  AT  DAYBREAK   I  SHALL  BE   by Emily Dickinson A Wife - at daybreak I shall be - Sunrise - Hast thou a Flag for me ? At Midnight, I am but a Maid, How short it takes to make a Bride - Then - Midnight, I have passed from thee Unto the East, and Victory  Midnight - Good Night ! I hear them call, The Angels bustle in the Hall - Softly my Future climbs the Stair, I fumble at my Childhood's prayer So soon to be a Child no more - Eternity, I'm coming - Sire, Savior - I've seen the face - before !
