We are working on musical arrangements of I many times thought peace had come by Emily Dickinson and they will be published on a date yet to be decided.

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.
