Poem A Day

Classic poem

Faith -- is the Pierless Bridge

by Emily Dickinson

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.
