93 <br /> <br />Went up a year this evening! <br />I recollect it well! <br />Amid no bells nor bravoes <br />The bystanders will tell! <br />Cheerful—as to the village— <br />Tranquil—as to repose— <br />Chastened—as to the Chapel <br />This humble Tourist rose! <br />Did not talk of returning! <br />Alluded to no time <br />When, were the gales propitious— <br />We might look for him! <br />Was grateful for the Roses <br />In life's diverse bouquet— <br />Talked softly of new species <br />To pick another day; <br />Beguiling thus the wonder <br />The wondrous nearer drew— <br />Hands bustled at the moorings— <br />The crown respectful grew— <br />Ascended from our vision <br />To Countenances new! <br />A Difference—A Daisy— <br />Is all the rest I knew!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/went-up-a-year-this-evening/
