Analysis of Like Mighty Foot Lights—burned the Red
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Like Mighty Foot Lights—burned the Red
At Bases of the Trees—
The far Theatricals of Day
Exhibiting—to These—
'Twas Universe—that did applaud—
While Chiefest—of the Crowd—
Enabled by his Royal Dress—
Myself distinguished God—
