Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Three: Nature 41. Like mighty footlights burned the red

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.
