619 <br /> <br />Glee—The great storm is over— <br />Four—have recovered the Land— <br />Forty—gone down together— <br />Into the boiling Sand— <br /> <br />Ring—for the Scant Salvation— <br />Toll—for the bonnie Souls— <br />Neighbor—and friend—and Bridegroom— <br />Spinning upon the Shoals— <br /> <br />How they will tell the Story— <br />When Winter shake the Door— <br />Till the Children urge— <br />But the Forty— <br />Did they—come back no more? <br /> <br />Then a softness—suffuse the Story— <br />And a silence—the Teller's eye— <br />And the Children—no further question— <br />And only the Sea—reply—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/glee-the-great-storm-is-over/
