Analysis of A Day! Help! Help! Another Day!
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
A Day! Help! Help! Another Day!
Your prayers, oh Passer by!
From such a common ball as this
Might date a Victory!
From marshallings as simple
The flags of nations swang.
Steady—my soul: What issues
Upon thine arrow hang!
