Emily Dickinson's Correspondences
Correspondence with Susan Dickinson


H B73
Write, Comrade, write!
               

On this wondrous sea
Sailing silently,
Ho! Pilot, ho!
Knowest thou the shore
Where no breakers roar -
Where the storm is oer?
               

In the peaceful west
Many the sails at rest -
The anchors fast -
Thither I pilot thee   
Land Ho! Eternity!
Ashore at last!
          Emilie
