Sleeping

Title:     Sleeping
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

A long, long sleep, a famous sleep
That makes no show for dawn
By stretch of limb or stir of lid, --
An independent one.

Was ever idleness like this?
Within a hut of stone
To bask the centuries away
Nor once look up for noon?

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Sleeping
