43 <br /> <br />Could live—did live— <br />Could die—did die— <br />Could smile upon the whole <br />Through faith in one he met not, <br />To introduce his soul. <br /> <br />Could go from scene familiar <br />To an untraversed spot— <br />Could contemplate the journey <br />With unpuzzled heart— <br /> <br />Such trust had one among us, <br />Among us not today— <br />We who saw the launching <br />Never sailed the Bay!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/could-live-did-live/
