Will there really be a "Morning?"

Is there such thing at "Day?"

Could i see it from the mountains

If i we 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 have never heard?


Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor

Oh some Wise Man from the skies

Please tell a little Pilgrim

Where the place called "Morning" lies!Will there really be a "morning?"

This poem (Will there really be a "Morning"?) by Emily Dickinson makes use of rhetorical questions, questions aimed to the reader's reflection which do not require an  actual answer. These questions are used here to represent how a child mind works and how he imagines places like "morning" and  "day" if they were indeed real.
