Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

Two swimmers wrestled on the spar
Until the morning sun,
When one turned smiling to the land.
O God, the other one!

The stray ships passing spied a face
Upon the waters borne,
With eyes in death still begging raised,
And hands beseeching thrown.

2. Playmates
3. Resurgam
4. The Martyrs
5. Surgeons Must Be Very Careful
