A Thought went up my mind today –
That I have had before –
But did not finish — some way back –
I could not fix the Year –

Nor where it went — nor why it came
The second time to me –
Nor definitely, what it was –
Have I the Art to say –

But somewhere — in my Soul — I know –
I’ve met the Thing before –
It just reminded me — ’twas all –
And came my way no more –
-Emily Dickinson
