Poetry Puzzle: A Light exists in Spring Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Quossum: Well, this is sad. Don-Giacomo and I finally got out to check on this one on a perfect evening. Sure enough, we found the trail in this area has been expanded and the spot where the cache was is now bare. No sign of the cache at all; I'm thinking it might have been exposed by the clearing and then made off with.

Archiving.

A Light exists in Spring
by Emily Dickinson


A Light exists in Spring N
Not present on the Year 2
At any other period— 9
When March is scarcely here 3


A Color stands abroad 7
On Solitary Fields 1
That Science cannot overtake 3
But Human Nature feels. 4


It waits upon the Lawn, W
It shows the furthest Tree 0
Upon the furthest Slope you know 9
It almost speaks to you. 5


Then as Horizons step 3
Or Noons report away 0
Without the Formula of sound 9
It passes and we stay — 1


A quality of loss 3
Affecting our Content (Compliments to Pepper,
As Trade had suddenly encroached who taught me
Upon a Sacrament. this trick!)
