Kiss by the window, by Edvard Munch
Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

Love XXV. Wild nights! Wild nights! (249)

Part Three: Love

 
                    XXV
 
Wild nights—Wild nights!
Were I with thee
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
 
Futile—the winds—
To a Heart in port—
Done with the Compass—
Done with the Chart!
 
Rowing in Eden—
Ah—the Sea!
Might I but moor—tonight –
In thee!
