I Sing to Use the Waiting, par Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

I Sing to Use the Waiting

850

I sing to use the Waiting

My Bonnet but to tie

And shut the Door unto my House

No more to do have I

Till His best step approaching

We journey to the Day

And tell each other how We sung

To Keep the Dark away.
