CALLED BACK, by EMILY DICKINSON Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Just lost, when I was saved! Last Line: And the cycles wheel. Variant Title(s): Poem: 160;poem: 132 | |||
JUST lost when I was saved! Just felt the world go by! Just girt me for the onset with eternity, When breath blew back, And on the other side I heard recede the disappointed tide! Therefore, as one returned, I feel, Odd secrets of the line to tell! Some sailor, skirting foreign shores, Some pale reporter from the awful doors Before the seal! Next time, to stay! Next time, the things to see By ear unheard, Unscrutinized by eye. Next time, to tarry, While the ages steal, -- Slow tramp the centuries, And the cycles wheel. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HEAVENLY FATHER' - TAKE TO THEE by EMILY DICKINSON TWAS WARM - AT FIRST - LIKE US by EMILY DICKINSON A LIGHT EXISTS IN SPRING by EMILY DICKINSON A LITTLE MADNESS IN THE SPRING by EMILY DICKINSON A LITTLE OVER [OR, EAST OF] JORDAN by EMILY DICKINSON A LITTLE ROAD NOT MADE OF MAN by EMILY DICKINSON A ROUTE OF EVANESCENCE by EMILY DICKINSON A SPIDER SEWED AT NIGHT by EMILY DICKINSON A THOUGHT WENT UP MY MIND TO-DAY by EMILY DICKINSON A WORD MADE FLESH IS SELDOM by EMILY DICKINSON |
