Excerpt adapted from The Wind
by Emily Dickinson

The wind tapped like a tired man,
And like a host, "Come in,"
I boldly answered; entered then
My residence within

A rapid, footless guest,
To offer whom a chair
Were as impossible as hand
A sofa to the air.

No bone had he to bind him,
His speech was like the push
Of numerous humming-birds at once
From a superior bush.

He visited, still flitting;
Then, like a timid man,
Again he tapped β€” 't was flurriedly β€”
And I became alone.
