Emily Dickinson
Faith — is the Pierless Bridge
915

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
