When night is almost done,
And sunrise grows so near
That we can touch the spaces,
It ’s time to smooth the hair

And get the dimples ready,
And wonder we could care
For that old faded midnight
That frightened but an hour.

Emily is said to have carried a pencil and scraps of paper in her pocket in order to always be prepared when a poem came her way.
