This is the place they hoped before, by Emily Dick
где чается исход.
Зерно обманутых надежд,
под коркой без забот,
росло, не сдерживая стоп,
что вёл доски бальзам...
Пред ними безысходна глубь,
закрыт им путь назад.
[David Preest:
Emily begins a letter (L390) to Frances Norcross
with the words, ‘Thank you, dear, for the love.
I am progressing timidly. Experiment has a stimulus
which withers fear.’ Then there follows this poem.]

This is the place they hoped before, by Emily Dickinson
This is the place they hoped before,
Where I am hoping now.
The seed of disappointment grew
Within a capsule gay,
Too distant to arrest the feet
That walk this plank of balm --
Before them lies escapeless sea --
The way is closed they came.
