Emily Dickinson — Read—Sweet—how others—strove

260 Read—Sweet—how others—strove Till we—are stouter What they—renounced Till we—are less afraid How many times they—bore the faithful witness Till we—are helped As if a Kingdom—cared! Read then—of faith That shone above the fagot Clear strains of Hymn The River could not drown Brave names of Men And Celestial Women Passed out—of Record Into—Renown!
