“MORNING” means “Milking” to the Farmer

(37)

“MORNING” means “Milking” to the Farmer
Dawn to the Apennines—
Dice to the Maid.
“Morning” means just Chance to the Lover—
Just Revelation to the Beloved.
Epicures date a breakfast by it!
Heroes a battle,
The Miller a flood,
Faint-going eyes their lapse
From sighing,
Faith, the Experiment of our Lord!
-Emily Dickinson
