The Mind
Over and over, like a tune
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
The Mind
Over and over, like a tune
The recollection plays.
Drums of the phantom battlements,
Cornets of Paradise!
Snatches from baptized generations,
Cadences too grand
But for the Justified
Processions
At the Lord's right hand.
