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!

Written by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886).

Gratitude!
