Poems (Dickinson)/Angels in the early morning

by Emily Dickinson

For other versions of this work, see Angels, in the early morning.

XVIII.

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
May be seen the sands among,
Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying;
Parched the flowers they bear along.
