Emily Dickinson

One Day Is There of the Series

814
 
One Day is there of the Series
Termed Thanksgiving Day.
Celebrated part at Table
Part in Memory.
 
Neither Patriarch nor Pussy
I dissect the Play
Seems it to my Hooded thinking
Reflex Holiday.
 
Had there been no sharp Subtraction
From the early Sum—
Not an Acre or a Caption
Where was once a Room—
 
Not a Mention, whose small Pebble
Wrinkled any Sea,
Unto Such, were such Assembly
’Twere Thanksgiving Day.
