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.
