The Lost Thought

Emily Dickinson

1830 to 1886

We are working on musical arrangements of The Lost Thought by Emily Dickinson and they will be published on a date yet to be decided.

I felt a clearing in my mind
  As if my brain had split;
I tried to match it, seam by seam,
  But could not make them fit.

The thought behind I strove to join
  Unto the thought before,
But sequence ravelled out of reach
  Like balls upon a floor.
