A Thought went up my mind today

A Thought went up my mind today -

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 -

       - Emily Dickinson .
