Explore "A Light Exists in Spring" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A light exists in spring / Not present on the year / At any other period.
When March is scarcely here
A color stands abroad / On solitary hills / That science cannot overtake, / But human nature feels.
It waits upon the lawn; / It shows the furthest tree / Upon the furthest slope we know; / It almost speaks to me.
Then, as horizons step, / Or noons report away, / Without the formula of sound, / It passes, and we stay:
A quality of loss / Affecting our content, / As trade had suddenly encroached / Upon a sacrament.
