Emily Dickinson

10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts

Water Makes Many Beds

Water makes many Beds
For those averse to sleep -
Its awful chamber open stands -
Its Curtains blandly sweep -
Abhorrent is the Rest
In undulating Rooms
Whose Amplitude no end invades -
Whose Axis never comes.
