Analysis of Over and over, like a Tune
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Over and over, like a Tune—
The Recollection plays—
Drums off the Phantom Battlements
Cornets of Paradise—
Snatches, from Baptized Generations—
Cadences too grand
But for the Justified Processions
At the Lord's Right hand.
