Emily Dickinson - Exhilaration is the Breeze

Exhilaration is the Breeze
That lifts us from the Ground
And leaves us in another place
Whose statement is not found --

Returns us not, but after time
We soberly descend
A little newer for the term
Upon Enchanted Ground --

Others have mentioned singing this song in choir. I am a director planning to teach it to my students this year. For those interested, the version I plan to use is by Neil Ginsburg, and is published by Heritage Music Press. JWPepper.com is an excellent resource to find this song.

I'm in an advanced choir group at school, and we're signing a song with these lyrics, and the song is so incredibly pretty.
