471 <br /> <br />A Night—there lay the Days between— <br />The Day that was Before— <br />And Day that was Behind—were one— <br />And now—'twas Night—was here— <br /> <br />Slow—Night—that must be watched away— <br />As Grains upon a shore— <br />Too imperceptible to note— <br />Till it be night—no more—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-night-mdash-there-lay-the-days-between/
