Tie the strings to my life, my Lord, / Then I am ready to go! / Just a look at the horses- / Rapid! That will do! / Put me in on the firmest side, / So I shall never fall, / For we must ride to the Judgment, / And it´s partly down hill. / But never I mind the bridges, / And never I mind the sea; / Held fast in everlasting race / By my own choice and thee. / Good-by to the life I used to live, / And the world I used to know; / And kiss the hills for me, just once; / Now I am ready to go!
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), aus: A Book of Reformed Prayers
