From all the Jails the Boys and Girls

Emily DickinsonContemplative

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 should lie in wait For such a Foe as this --
