EXPERIENCE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: I STEPPED FROM PLANK TO PLANK
Last Line: SOME CALL EXPERIENCE.

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.
