Emily Dickinson: Could live - did live - Could die - did die - Coul
Could live - did live -
Could die - did die -
Could smile upon the whole
Through faith in one he met not -
To introduce his soul -
Could go from scene familiar
To an untraversed spot -
Could contemplate the journey
With unpuzzled heart -
Such trust had one among us -
Among us not today -
We who saw the launching
Never sailed the Bay.
Emily Dickinson
