After Great Pain by Emily Dickenson

After great pain, a formal feeling comes--
The Nerves sit ceremonious like Tombs--
The stiff Heart questions was it He, that bore--
And Yesterday, or Centuries before?

The Feet, mechanical, go round--
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought--
A wooden way
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment, like a stone--

This is the Hour of Lead--
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons recollect the Snow--
First--Chill--then Stupor--then the letting go--
