Morning

This is a segment of "Uncle Jim and Little Roy" from the 2009 Goatsinger production of Chooka Choo. Here, the two hobos, Uncle Jim and Little Roy, have taken refuge for the night in a barn. Unbeknownst to Little Roy, Uncle Jim is very sick. Once the young man falls asleep, Uncle Jim goes outside to try and pray.




"Morning" by Emily Dickinson

Will there really be a morning?
Is there such a thing as day?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?
Has it feet like water lilies?
Has it feathers like a bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I’ve never heard?
Oh some scholar, oh some sailor,
Oh some wise man from the skies,
Please to tell a little pilgrim
Where the place called morning lies.
