The Day that I was crowned
Was like the other Days-
Until the Coronation came-
And then-'twas Otherwise-
As Carbon in the Coal
And Carbon in the Gem
Are One-and yet the former
Were dull for Diadem-
I rose, and all was plain-
But when the Day declined
Myself and It, in Majesty
Were equally-adorned-
The Grace that I-was chose-
To Me-surpassed the Crown
That was the Witness for the Grace-
'Twas even that 'twas Mine-
The Day That I Was Crowned
Emily Dickinson
