Dickinson poem with great sunset images

This poem was published in 1864 with the title "Sunset" and in 1891 with the title "The Juggler of Day."

Blazing in Gold and quenching in Purple
Leaping like Leopards to the Sky
Then at the feet of the old Horizon
Laying her spotting Face to die
Stooping as low as the Otter's Window
Touching the Roof and tinting the Barn
Kissing her Bonnet to the Meadow
And the Juggler is gone
