EMILY, EVER EMILY

Emily Dickinson

Wild Nights — Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile — the Winds —
To a Heart in port —
Done with the Compass —
Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden —
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor —Tonight —
In Thee!

Noites selvagens-Noites selvagens!
Estivesse eu junto de ti
As noites selvagens seriam
O paraíso da nossa luxúria!

Fútil-os ventos-
Para o coração no porto-
Igual às bússolas
Igual aos mapas!

Navegando no Éden-
Ah, o mar!
Pudera eu em ti- esta noite-
Me afogar!
