Emily Dickinson

Life CXXXVI. I stepped from plank to plank (875)

Part One: Life

 
                    CXXXVI
 
I STEPPED from plank to plank
  So slow and cautiously;
The stars about my head I felt,
  About my feet the sea.
I knew not but the next
  Would be my final inch,—
This gave me that precarious gait
  Some call experience.
