Lightly Stepped A Yellow Star Poem by Emily Dickinson

Lightly Stepped A Yellow Star

Rating: ★4.0


Lightly stepped a yellow star
To its lofty place -
Loosed the Moon her silver hat
From her lustral Face -
All of Evening softly lit
As an Astral Hall -
Father, I observed to Heaven,
You are punctual.
