The Guest is gold and crimson-


The Guest is gold and crimson-
An Opal guest and gray-
Of Ermine is his doublet-
His Capuchin gay-
He reaches town at nightfall-
He stops at every door-
Who looks for him at morning
I pray him too-explore
The Lark’s pure territory-
Or the Lapwing’s shore!
Emily Dickinson
The Sun accompanied by opal Cloud
The Guest is gold and crimson-
His staff is grayish Opal-
His doublet is of Ermine-
His Coat is gay-
He reaches town at evening-
He stops at every door-
Who looks for him at morning
I pray him too-explore
The Lark’s pure territory-
Or the Lapwing’s marsh!
Today’s Sun is in full dress with ermine doublet and opal cloth.
