Listen to the world’s best poetry read out loud.
Wild Nights
Read by Helen Mirren
Wild Nights - Emily Dickinson - Read by Helen Mirren
Wild Nights
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!
