Poem

Two swimmers wrestled on the spar

Emily Dickinson
201 Two swimmers wrestled on the spar— Until the morning sun— When One—turned smiling to the land— Oh God! the Other One! The stray ships—passing— Spied a face— Upon the waters borne— With eyes in death—still begging raised— And hands—beseeching—thrown!
