Look back on time with kindly eyes, He doubtless did his best; How softly sinks his trembling sun In human nature’s west!

— Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) “VII.” from Complete Poems (1924), Part IV

Performance note: For Look back on time with kindly eyes to achieve the fullest effect in performance, the choir should encircle the audience, with the sections arrayed in such a way as to make visible and audible the progressions of initial entrances and those beginning in m. 36. The following configuration (or one similar to it) is suggested, placing individual singers or sections along the outer edge of the performance space at the hour markings of a large, imaginary clock, facing the conductor in the center:

Soprano III Soprano II

Bass I

Soprano I

Bass II

Tenor III

Bass III

Look back on time with kindly eyes may be performed a half step lower than written.

— J.G.
