Faith -- is the Pierless BridgeI first heard this poem on an episode on Joan of Arcadia, my favorite show of all time. Evidently, so did several other people. I also learned in this episode that many of Emily Dickinson's poems can be sung to the tune of Yellow Rose of Texas, this one included.
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.
By Emily Dickinson
I miss Jane.
