Setting Sail

Title:     Setting Sail
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea, --
Past the houses, past the headlands,
Into deep eternity!

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Setting Sail
