Emily Dickinson

It sounded as if the Streets were running

It sounded as if the Streets were running
And then–  the Streets stood still –
Eclipse -  was all we could see at the Window
And Awe -  was all we could feel.
 
By and by -  the boldest stole out of his Covert
To see if Time was there -
Nature was in an Opal Apron,
Mixing fresher Air.
