That first Day, when you praised Me, Sweet,


That first Day, when you praised Me, Sweet,
And said that I was strong —
And could be mighty, if I liked —
That Day — the Days among —
Glows Central — like a Jewel
Between Diverging Golds —
The Minor One — that gleamed behind —
And Vaster — of the World’s.
Emily Dickinson

Venus and Mars
That first Day, when you praised Me, Sweet,
And said that I was brighter —
And could be mighty, if I liked —
That Day — among the Days —
Glows Central — like a Jewel
Between Diverging Golds —
The smaller One — that gleamed behind —
And Bigger One — of the World’s.
