(141) Emily Dickinson – ON this wondrous sea

ON this wondrous sea,

Sailing silently,

Knowest thou the shore

Ho! pilot, ho!

Where no breakers roar,

Where the storm is o’er?

 

In the silent west

Many sails at rest,

Their anchors fast;

Thither I pilot thee,—

Land, ho! Eternity!

Ashore at last!
