461 <br /> <br />A Wife—at daybreak I shall be— <br />Sunrise—Hast thou a Flag for me? <br />At Midnight, I am but a Maid, <br />How short it takes to make a Bride— <br />Then—Midnight, I have passed from thee <br />Unto the East, and Victory— <br /> <br />Midnight—Good Night! I hear them call, <br />The Angels bustle in the Hall— <br />Softly my Future climbs the Stair, <br />I fumble at my Childhood's prayer <br />So soon to be a Child no more— <br />Eternity, I'm coming—Sire, <br />Savior—I've seen the face—before!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wife-mdash-at-daybreak-i-shall-be/
