Eternity

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

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 silent west

Many sails at rest,

      Their anchors fast;

Thither I pilot thee.—

Land, ho! Eternity!

      Ashore at last!
