Emily Dickinson
Smiling back from Coronation
385

Smiling back from Coronation
May be Luxury
On the Heads that started with us
Being's Peasantry

Recognizing in Procession
Ones We former knew
When Ourselves were also dusty
Centuries ago

Had the Triumph no Conviction
Of how many be
Stimulated—by the Contrast
Unto Misery
