It's like the Light — Church Bell

This poem has the form of a riddle. It tells Dickinson's thought when she heard the church bell.

It's like the Light－¹
A fashionless Delight－
It's like the Bee－
A dateless－Melody－

It's like the Woods－⁵
Private－Like the Breeze－
Phraseless－yet it stirs
The proudest Trees－

It's like the Morning－⁹
Best－when it's done－
And the Everlasting Clocks－
Chime－Noon!

(F.302/J.297)
