Two Swimmers Wrestled On A Spar by Emily Dickinson Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1890

Two swimmers wrestled on the spar
Until the morning sun,
When one turned smiling to the land.
O 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.
