Drowning Is Not So Pitiful

Title:     Drowning Is Not So Pitiful
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Drowning is not so pitiful
As the attempt to rise.
Three times, 't is said, a sinking man
Comes up to face the skies,
And then declines forever
To that abhorred abode
Where hope and he part company, --
For he is grasped of God.
The Maker's cordial visage,
However good to see,
Is shunned, we must admit it,
Like an adversity.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Drowning Is Not So Pitiful
