Once More, my Now Bewildered Dove, di Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

Once More, my Now Bewildered Dove

Once more, my now bewildered Dove

Bestirs her puzzled wings

Once more her mistress, on the deep

Her troubled question flings—

Thrice to the floating casement

The Patriarch’s bird returned,

Courage! My brave Columba!

There may yet be Land!
