How good his Lava Bed,
To this laborious Boy ―
Who must be up to call the World
And dress the sleepy Day ―
To this laborious Boy ―
Who must be up to call the World
And dress the sleepy Day ―
Emily Dickinson
Just before the eruption of Vesuvius
How good to this laborious Boy
His Bed of Lava is !
He must rise up to alarm the World
And cover the sleepy Day ―
His Bed of Lava is !
He must rise up to alarm the World
And cover the sleepy Day ―
* One of Emily’s volcano series
