Copy and pasted text poems aren't actually real poems are they? You can just about get away with a photo.

"Soldered down" is an odd expression, suggesting an older meaning of "soldered", which as far as I can find means a joining process.

solder (n.)

early 14c., soudur, from Old French soldure, soudeure, from souder, originally solder, "to consolidate, close, fasten together, join with solder" (13c.), from Latin solidare "to make solid," from solidus "solid" (see solid (adj.)).

I instinctively pronounced "blessed" with one syllable there (because there's no marked accentuation), and the last line felt crippled, but perhaps appropriately so – but I think it's probably supposed to be "bles-id"

Yeah bless-id, just standard iambic duh-DUM duh-DUM business isn't it?

Dickinson was definitely off kilter in all sorts of other ways though
