TIS SUNRISE, LITTLE MAID, HAST THOU by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: I might have aided — thee
Subject(s): DEATH:

'Tis Sunrise - Little Maid - Hast Thou
No Station in the Day?
'Twas not thy wont, to hinder so -
Retrieve thine industry -

'Tis Noon - My little Maid -
Alas - and art thou sleeping yet?
The Lily - waiting to be Wed -
The Bee - Hast thou forgot?

My little Maid - 'Tis Night - Alas
That Night should be to thee
Instead of Morning - Had'st thou broached
Thy little Plan to Die -
Dissuade thee, if I could not, Sweet,
I might have aided - thee
