    Wild nights! Wild nights!

    Wild nights! Wild nights! License: Public Domain Emily Dickinson

    Wild nights! Wild nights!

    Were I with thee,

    Wild nights should be

    Our luxury!

    Futile the winds

    To a heart in port,—

    Done with the compass,

    Done with the chart.

    Rowing in Eden!

    Ah! the sea!

    Might I but moor

    To-night in thee!
