Poems — Second Series by Emily Dickinson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Mabel Loomis Todd
Blazing in Gold and Quenching in Purple
Blazing in gold and quenching in purple, Leaping like leopards to the sky, Then at the feet of the old horizon Laying her spotted face, to die;
Stooping as low as the otter's window, Touching the roof and tinting the barn, Kissing her bonnet to the meadow, — And the juggler of day is gone!
