__**Poem**__ Farewell By: Emily Dickinson 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 on the firmest side, media type="file" key="E. Dickinson video.wmv" align="right" width="300" height="300" So I shall never fall; For we must ride to the Judgment And it’s partly downhill.

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.
