I sing to use the Waiting
My Bonnet but to tie
And shut the Door unto my House
No more to do have I
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.
We journey to the Day
And tell each other how We sung
To Keep the Dark away.
Emily Dickinson
The Second Coming of Jesus to Emily
I sing to use the Remaining Time
Only to tie my Bonnet
And shut the Door to my House
I have no more to do
Only to tie my Bonnet
And shut the Door to my House
I have no more to do
Till His best step approaching.
We journey to the Day
And tell each other how We sang
To Keep the Dark away.
We journey to the Day
And tell each other how We sang
To Keep the Dark away.
Emily suggests the poem’s theme (Advent) by “ the Waiting”! on the first line.
