Analysis of That first Day, when you praised Me, Sweet
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
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.
