Dickinson, Emily: (Faith — is the Pierless Bridge)

Portre of Dickinson, Emily

(Faith — is the Pierless Bridge) (English)

Faith — is the Pierless Bridge
Supporting what We see
Unto the Scene that We do not —
Too slender for the eye

It bears the Soul as bold
As it were rocked in Steel
With Arms of Steel at either side —
It joins — behind the Veil

To what, could We presume
The Bridge would cease to be
To Our far, vacillating Feet
A first Necessity.
   
   
(1864)
