Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part Two: Nature

LXIX

ANGELS in the early morning
May be seen the dews among,
Stooping, plucking, smiling, flying:
Do the buds to them belong?

Angels when the sun is hottest	5
May be seen the sands among,
Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying;
Parched the flowers they bear along.
