"Might I but moor-Tonight-/ In Thee!" What is the metaphor of those lines in Emily Dickinson?

The key to this metaphor is the word moor, which means to secure a boat or ship securely. The speaker in the poem indicates a yearning to be anchored or soundly attached to another person. In the earlier stanzas of the poem, "Wild Nights--Wild Nights," the poets includes references to ships and sailing: "a heart in port," "compass," "charts," "rowing in Eden," and "the Sea."
