A something in a summer's Day

A something in a summer's Day As slow her flambeaux burn away Which solemnizes me.

A something in a summer's noon -- A depth -- an Azure -- a perfume -- Transcending ecstasy.

And still within a summer's night A something so transporting bright I clap my hands to see --

Then veil my too inspecting face Lets such a subtle -- shimmering grace Flutter too far for me --

The wizard fingers never rest -- The purple brook within the breast Still chafes it narrow bed --

Still rears the East her amber Flag -- Guides still the sun along the Crag His Caravan of Red --

So looking on -- the night -- the morn Conclude the wonder gay -- And I meet, coming thro' the dews Another summer's Day!

Emily Dickinson
