Analysis of When I have seen the Sun emerge
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
When I have seen the Sun emerge
From His amazing House—
And leave a Day at every Door
A Deed, in every place—
Without the incident of Fame
Or accident of Noise—
The Earth has seemed to me a Drum,
Pursued of little Boys
