Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

Like mighty footlights burned the red
At bases of the trees, --
The far theatricals of day
Exhibiting to these.

'T was universe that did applaud
While, chiefest of the crowd,
Enabled by his royal dress,
Myself distinguished God.

1. Fringed Gentian
2. The Snow
3. The Blue Jay
4. The Only Ghost I Ever Saw
5. There Is a Shame of Nobleness
