542 <br /> <br />I had no Cause to be awake— <br />My Best—was gone to sleep— <br />And Morn a new politeness took— <br />And failed to wake them up— <br /> <br />But called the others—clear— <br />And passed their Curtains by— <br />Sweet Morning—when I oversleep— <br />Knock—Recollect—to Me— <br /> <br />I looked at Sunrise—Once— <br />And then I looked at Them— <br />And wishfulness in me arose— <br />For Circumstance the same— <br /> <br />'Twas such an Ample Peace— <br />It could not hold a Sigh— <br />'Twas Sabbath—with the Bells divorced— <br />'Twas Sunset—all the Day— <br /> <br />So choosing but a Gown— <br />And taking but a Prayer— <br />The only Raiment I should need— <br />I struggled—and was There—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-had-no-cause-to-be-awake/
