Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part Two: Nature

XLI

LIKE mighty footlights burned the red

At bases of the trees,—

The far theartricals of day

Exhibiting to these.

’T was universe that did applaud

While, Chiefest of the crowd,

Enabled by his royal dress,

Myself distinguished God.
