A Clock Stopped

- Written by Emily Dickinson.

A Clock stopped — Not the Mantel's — Geneva's farthest skill Can't put the puppet bowing — That just now dangled still —

An awe came on the Trinket! The Figures hunched, with pain — Then quivered out of Decimals — Into Degreeless Noon —

It will not stir for Doctors — This Pendulum of snow — This Shopman importunes it — While cool — concernless No —

Nods from the Gilded pointers — Nods from the Seconds slim — Decades of Arrogance between The Dial life — And Him —
