Emily on a April morning

One of my favorite poems by Emily Dickinson. I discovered it many years ago watching the  heartbreaking  film Sophie's Choice. If you have never seen the film  you can see the clip here of the poem being read.The yearning of her words read by Stingo, the  visual imagery and the emotional and  moving  score by Marvin Hamlisch will bring you  to tears.

Ample make this bed.

Ample make this bed.
Make this bed with awe;
In it wait till judgment break
Excellent and fair.

Be its mattress straight,
Be its pillow round;
Let no sunrise' yellow noise
Interrupt this ground.

Emily Dickinson
