Emily Dickinson
                                                                         XXV

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
To-night in Thee!

I read this poem in my sophomore year.  I like the way this poem presents and the way Emily Dickinson describes the beauty of love.  
In fact, the reason why I read this poem is simply because I was doing the group presentation with my classmates.   At that time, we didn't do any group discussion or brain storming on the structure, image, symbol of this poem, cos' we believed it's not that difficult, so we don't have to discuss it at all.  However, till the day of presentation, one of ma teammates screws up,  cos'  she told the listeners and professor that  EDEN  is the real "sea"  ROFL
C'mon! you don't have to google every detail on the net, but at least you should look up the dictionary before you present your presentation LMAO
