I had no Cause to be awake —

I had no Cause to be awake —
My Best — was gone to sleep —
And Morn a new politeness took —　
And failed to wake them up —　

But called the others — clear —
And passed their Curtains by —
Sweet Morning — when I oversleep —
Knock — Recollect — to Me —

I looked at Sunrise — Once —
And then I looked at Them —
And wishfulness in me arose —
For Circumstance the same —

‘Twas such an Ample Peace —
It could not hold a Sigh —
'Twas Sabbath — with the Bells divorced —
'Twas Sunset — all the Day —

So choosing but a Gown —
And taking but a Prayer —
The only Raiment I should need —
I struggled — and was There —

Emily enjoyed the polar night. She was reluctant to join the morning prayer. 

I had no Cause to be awake —
My Best was to go to sleep —
And Morn took a new politeness
And failed to wake them up —　

But the others called clear
And parted their Curtains —
Sweet Morning when I oversleep —
I noticed the Knock —

I looked at Sunrise once
And then I looked at them —
And yearning for the same condition
Arose in me—

'Twas such an Ample Peace —
It could not hold a Sigh —
'Twas Sunday except for the sound of Bells
'Twas Sunset all the Day —

So choosing only a Gown —
And taking only a Prayer —
I searched the only accessory
I should need which was there
