Analysis of The Color of a Queen, is this
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
The Color of a Queen, is this—
The Color of a Sun
At setting—this and Amber—
Beryl—and this, at Noon—
And when at night—Auroran widths
Fling suddenly on men—
'Tis this—and Witchcraft—nature keeps
A Rank—for Iodine—
