Text

On this Wondrous Sea
by Emily Dickinson

On this wondrous sea
Sailing silently,
Ho! Pilot, ho!
Knowest thou the shore
Where no breakers roar —
Where the storm is o’er?

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

Alabaster Wool (Snowfall)Simple days
A spider
On this wondrous sea
A drop fell on the apple tree
