Baffled for just a day or two

uswritten by Emily Dickinson

17

Baffled for just a day or two
Embarrassed not afraid
Encounter in my garden
An unexpected Maid.

She beckons, and the woods start
She nods, and all begin
Surely, such a country
I was never in!

A Visitor in Marl
Who influences Flowers
Till they are orderly as Busts
And Elegant as Glass
Who visits in the Night

The Day that was Before
And Day that was Behind were one
And now 'twas Night was here

To hang our head ostensibly
And subsequent, to find
That such was not the posture
Of our immortal mind

Could live 'did live

Could live did live
Could die did die
Could smile upon the whole
Through faith in one he met not,
To introduce his soul.

To my quick ear the leaves conferred;

To my quick ear the leaves conferred;
The bushes they were bells;
I could not find a privacy
From Nature's sentinels.

Ah, Teneriffe!
Retreating Mountain!
Purples of Ages pause for you
Sunset reviews her Sapphire Regiment
