Ample make this bed

Ample make this bed.
Make this bed with awe;
In it wait till judgment break
Excellent and fair.

Be its mattress straight,
Be its pillow round;
Let no sunrise' yellow noise
Interrupt this ground.
 

Emily Dickinson
1864


Yeah right.

Please don't get me wrong because I love the poem. But I guess the poet was inspired by visions of death when viewing this bed.

I know I did. Let's hear it for sepia!
