Saturday Afternoon

Title:     Saturday Afternoon
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

From all the jails the boys and girls
Ecstatically leap, --
Beloved, only afternoon
That prison doesn't keep.

They storm the earth and stun the air,
A mob of solid bliss.
Alas! that frowns could lie in wait
For such a foe as this!

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Saturday Afternoon
