That is difficult because I have so many so I guess it'r really which one popped into my head today, and that would be this from Emily Dickinson(such a cheery soul she was):
HE fumbles at your spirit As players at the keysBefore they drop full music on; He stuns you by degrees, Prepares your brittle substance
For the ethereal blow,By fainter hammers, further heard, Then nearer, then so slow Your breath has time to straighten, Your brain to bubble cool,- Deals one imperial thunderbolt That scalps your naked soul.
