Handwritten manuscript by Emily Dickinson of her poem: Wild Nights- Wild Nights! Were I with thee Wild Night 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!

Handwritten manuscript by Emily Dickinson of her poem:

Wild Nights- Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Night 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!

Signed manuscript by Emily Dickinson. Baffled for just a day or two- Embarrassed- not afraid- Encounter in my garden An unexpected Maid. She beckons, and the woods start- She nods, and all begin- Surely, such a country I was never in!

Signed manuscript by Emily Dickinson.

Baffled for just a day or two-
Embarrassed- not afraid-
Encounter in my garden
An unexpected Maid.

She beckons, and the woods start-
She nods, and all begin-
Surely, such a country
I was never in!
