Sleeping.

    By Emily Elizabeth 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?
