Inconceivably solemn! by Emily Dickinson
Inconceivably solemn! Things go gay Pierce -- by the very Press Of Imagery --
Their far Parades -- order on the eye With a mute Pomp -- A pleading Pageantry --
Flags, are a brave sight -- But no true Eye Ever went by One -- Steadily --
Music's triumphant -- But the fine Ear Winces with delight Are Drums too near --
