Interesting poem! But I think the author of this plagiarized Emily Dickinson. Compare to this great poem of hers:
Great Streets of silence led away
To Neighborhoods of Pause –
Here was no Notice – no Dissent
No Universe – no Laws –
By Clocks, 'twas Morning, and for Night
The Bells at Distance called –
But Epoch had no basis here
For Period exhaled.
Afraid to say I think Dickinson's is far superior!
