No Crowd that has occurred
by Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) English
No Crowd that has occurred
Exhibit — I suppose
That General Attendance
That Resurrection — does —
Circumference be full —
The long restricted Grave
Assert her Vital Privilege —
The Dust — connect — and live —
On Atoms — features place —
All Multitudes that were
Efface in the Comparison —
As Suns — dissolve a star —
Solemnity — prevail —
Its Individual Doom
Possess each separate Consciousness —
August — Absorbed — Numb —
What Duplicate — exist —
What Parallel can be —
Of the Significance of This —
To Universe — and Me?

It quivered through the Grass
