From the recording Settings of EMILY DICKINSON

sung by Theo Bleckmann


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?
Does it come from foreign countries
of which I have never heard?

Morn is supposed to be
by people of degree
the breaking of the day ...
