A THOUGHT WENT UP MY MIND TO-DAY by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: And came my way no more
Subject(s): DEJA VU;

A THOUGHT went up my mind to-day
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
