Emily Dickinson (1830–86).  Complete Poems.  1924.

Part Five: The Single Hound

XLVI

THE LARGEST fire ever known
Occurs each afternoon,
Discovered is without surprise,
Proceeds without concern:
Consumes, and no report to men,        5
An Occidental town,
Rebuilt another morning
To be again burned down.
