As children bid the guest good-night
"As Children Bid the Guest Good-Night" by Emily Dickinson is a short poem that draws a tender parallel between the nightly closing and morning opening of flowers and the reluctant bedtime and joyful waking of children. With quiet charm, Dickinson imagines blooms pulling on their nightgowns at dusk and then peeping and prancing from their cribs at dawn — transforming the garden into a nursery full of small, spirited lives governed by the same rhythms as childhood.
