I many times thought peace had come,
When peace was far away;
As wrecked men deem they sight the land
At centre of the sea,
And struggle slacker, but to prove,
As hopelessly as I,
How many the fictitious shores
Before the harbor lie.
I am busy working to bring Emily Dickinson's "I many times thought peace had come" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the home page for other musical arrangements or learn more about Emily Dickinson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "I many times thought peace had come" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
