Dropped into the Ether Acre

Dropped into the
Ether Acre! 
Wearing the sod gown -
Bonnet of Everlasting laces -
Brooch frozen on! 
Horses of blonde -
And coach of silver,
Baggage a strapped Pearl! 
Journey of Down
And whip of Diamond -
Riding to meet the Earl!

by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) , no title, from The Single Hound
