Will there really be a "Morning"? - A poem by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson - Will there really be a "Morning"?

Will there really be a "Morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a Bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?

Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Men from the skies!
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called "Morning" lies!

Poet: Emily Dickinson (Emily Dickinson Art) Poem: 101. Will there really be a "Morning"? Volume: Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson Year: Published/Written in 1955 Comment 13 of 13, added on November 3rd, 2009 at 1:11 PM. I am singing two versions of this song in private voice lessons, and I am trying to interpret the poem to add meaning to performance. I am currently trying to decide whether it is a metaphor, comparing morning to daylight/happiness, while the narrator currently resides in dark/sadness, or whether it is more theoretical, like wondering why there really is a morning, and how we as humans percieve things such as questioning whether it has feet like water lilies. More of a perception through human nature take. Any opinion?
