The question refers to the poem ," Dear March- Come in-" by Emily Dickinson.
Yes, the poet was elated (extremely happy) to meet March.
Here are some phrases from the poem that prove this point:
The title of the poem itself suggests that the poet was thrilled to meet March. The poet happily welcomed March into her house.
Next, she clearly states, "How glad I am" , which shows her happiness at March's arrival.
She further says that she had "hoped for" March to come earlier, meaning she could barely wait for March. This also shows excitement.
Next the poet wants March to come upstairs, because she had "so much to tell". One usually behaves like this with a friend that one has been eagerly waiting to see.
Further, when the poet realises that April is about to arrive, she instructs March to "Lock the Door" because she is enjoying herself with March and doesn't want to be disturbed.
All these words and phrases show just how glad Emily Dickinson is to see March.
