paraphrase the following lines from dickinson i found the phrase to every thought i ever had, but one; and that defies me,...

To paraphrase, you need to reword the original lines while retaining the same meaning. In this case, the focus is on expressing the inability to comprehend a specific thought, despite finding the words for all other thoughts.
