Our journey had advanced --

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)65 words

Our journey had advanced --

Our feet were almost come

To that odd Fork in Being's Road --

Eternity -- by Term --

Our pace took sudden awe --

Our feet -- reluctant -- led --

Before -- were Cities -- but Between --

The Forest of the Dead --

Retreat -- was out of Hope --

Behind -- a Sealed Route --

Eternity's White Flag -- Before --

And God -- at every Gate --
