Smiling Back From Coronation

Emily Dickinson

385

Smiling back from Coronation
May be Luxury-
On the Heads that started with us-
Being's Peasantry-

Recognizing in Procession
Ones We former knew-
When Ourselves were also dusty-
Centuries ago-

Had the Triumph no Conviction
Of how many be-
Stimulated-by the Contrast-
Unto Misery-

(C) Emily Dickinson
