LETTERS (1) by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: EVERY DAY BRINGS A SHIP
Last Line: IS THE WORD THEY WISH TO HEAR.
Subject(s): ABSENCE; LETTERS; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;
Every day brings a ship,
Every ship brings a word;
Well for those who have no fear,
Looking seaward well assured
That the word the vessel brings
Is the word they wish to hear.
