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?

This poem is truly amazing.
It is just a simple little poem,
But yet it says so much.
Emily Dickinson has an amazing way with words.
Her poems are so inspiring.

While some of you may be upset that the poem of which has been put to music
is being discussed, you should realize that it's still the same haunting
lyrics made only more beautiful and ethereal by melody and harmony. I'm
one of the lucky ones who gets to sing this, and it only makes me
appreciate it more.

Do you know that " Will there really be a morning?" is also the title of a
very moving autobiography by Frances Farmer, who was a Hollywood star in
the 30's, before being sent to a lunatic asylum. This was her favorite poem
and reflected her own life.

There are probably several settings of this poem, but Craig Hella Johnson's
SA version is spectacularly beautiful.
For Jeremy - if you've never seen a lily pad it is an amazing round
floating object, not dissimilar to a webbed foot. Of course it is the
lightest footprint ever, floating on water, as gentle as her other metaphor
of a bird's feather. I think it is an incredible way to envision a
"morning" or awakening when you have been secluded (as Dickinson was),
depressed, or "asleep" to life.

I have to answer a question on how water lilies have "feet" according to
Emily Dickinson, anyone has suggestions?

This comment section should be about the POEM not the song! The poem by
Dickinson should be discussed here.
