Like Mighty Footlights Burned The Red, By: Emily Dickinson

October 2, 2026 by Editors

pc

Like mighty footlights burned the red
At bases of the trees, —
The far theatricals of day
Exhibiting to these.

‘T was universe that did applaud
While, chiefest of the crowd,
Enabled by his royal dress,
Myself distinguished God.
