Poem - "Tie the Strings to my Life, My Lord" by Emily Dickinson

"Tie the Strings to my Life, My Lord" 
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 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 steeper

And never I mind the Sea

Held fast in Everlasting Race
By my own Choice, and Thee

Goodbye to the Life I used to live

And the World I used to know

And kiss the Hills, for me, just once
Then -- I am ready to go!
