Dickinson wrote about his dislike of losing an hour or precious sleep each spring in his now-classic poem "When I sleep not, I'd rather sleep (below on the left). His poem inspired his third cousin Emily to pen her poem "What I see not, I better see" (below on the right).
By Emmett Lee Dickinson: When I sleep not, I’d rather sleep – Though now – my Hazel Eyes Have periods of shutting – With, interrupted Reverie – Too frequent, our senses obscured We’re annually told To set clocks ahead one hour On this Feature we’re sold – So I arise – amid my Dream – Irked and devoid of Grace – For saving Daylight interrupts – To mar my slumbered rest – | By Emily Dickinson: What I see not, I better see – Through Faith – my Hazel Eye Has periods of shutting – But, No lid has Memory – For frequent, all my sense obscured I equally behold As someone held a light unto The Features so beloved – And I arise – and in my Dream – Do Thee distinguished Grace – Till jealous Daylight interrupt – And mar thy perfectness – |
