Word Gems 

exploring self-realization, sacred personhood, and full humanity

Emily Dickinson

Should you but fail at -- Sea -- (#226)

return to "Poetry" main-page 

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

Should you but fail at—Sea—
In sight of me—
Or doomed lie—
Next Sun—to die—
Or rap—at Paradise—unheard
I'd harass God
Until he let you in!
