This quiet Dust was Gentlemen and Ladies

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

      And Lads and Girls;

Was laughter and ability and sighing,

      And frocks and curls.

This passive place a Summer's nimble mansion,

      Where Bloom and Bees

Fulfilled their Oriental Circuit,

      Then ceased like these.
