Could Livedid Live

Emily Dickinson

43

Could live-did live-
Could die-did die-
Could smile upon the whole
Through faith in one he met not,
To introduce his soul.

Could go from scene familiar
To an untraversed spot-
Could contemplate the journey
With unpuzzled heart-

Such trust had one among us,
Among us not today-
We who saw the launching
Never sailed the Bay!
