Emily Dickinson – LIKE mighty footlights burned the red

XLI

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.
