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