Angels in the early morning

Emily Dickinson(1830–1886)

1890

Angels in the early morningMay be seen the dews among,Stooping, plucking, smiling, flying:Do the buds to them belong?

Angels when the sun is hottestMay be seen the sands among,Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying;Parched the flowers they bear along.
