Explore "Saved!" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Of tribulation these are they / Denoted by the white; / The spangled gowns, a lesser rank / Of victors designate.
All these did conquer; but the ones / Who overcame most times / Wear nothing commoner than snow, / No ornament but palms.
Surrender is a sort unknown / On this superior soil; / Defeat, an outgrown anguish, / Remembered as the mile
Our panting ankle barely gained / When night devoured the road; / But we stood whispering in the house, / And all we said was "Saved"!
