a something in a summer's day

This poem by Emily Dickinson does justice to this beautiful summer day...

A something in a summer's Day
As slow her flambeaux burn away
Which solemnizes me.

A something in a summer's noon -
A depth - an Azure - a perfume - 
Transcending ecstasy.

And still within a summer's night
A something so transporting bright
I clap my hands to see - 

Then veil my too inspecting face
Lets such a subtle - shimmering grace
Flutter too far for me - 

The wizard fingers never rest - 
The purple brook within the breast
Still chafes its narrow bed - 

Still rears the East her amber Flag - 
Guides still the sun along the Crag 
His Caravan of Red - 

So looking on - the night - the morn
Conclude the wonder gay - 
And I meet, coming thro' the dews
Another summer's Day!
