In Honor of this Week's Parasha (Noach)
I present this lovely little poem based on part of the Noah story. It's by Emily Dickinson and it has the lovely lyrical title of "Poem 48":
Once more, my now bewildered Dove
Bestirs her puzzled wings
Once more her mistress, on the deep
Her troubled question flings—
Thrice to the floating casement
The Patriarch's bird returned,
Courage! My brave Columba!
There may yet be Land!
