Two Voyagers
Emily Dickinson
1830 to 1886
Two butterflies went out at noon
And waltzed above a stream,
Then stepped straight through the firmament
And rested on a beam;
And then together bore away
Upon a shining sea, —
Though never yet, in any port,
Their coming mentioned be.
If spoken by the distant bird,
If met in ether sea
By frigate or by merchantman,
Report was not to me.
Emily Dickinson's Two Voyagers
I am busy working to bring Emily Dickinson's "Two Voyagers" 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 gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Emily Dickinson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Two Voyagers" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
