Dickinson, Emily: I stepped from plank to plank

Portre of Dickinson, Emily

I stepped from plank to plank (English)

I stepped from plank to plank
  So slow and cautiously;
The stars about my head I felt,
  About my feet the sea.

I knew not but the next
  Would be my final inch,—
This gave me that precarious gait
  Some call experience.
