Emily Dickinson - Adrift! A little boat adrift! lyrics

30 Adrift! A little boat adrift! And night is coming down! Will no one guide a little boat Unto the nearest town? So Sailors say — on yesterday Just as the dusk was brown One little boat gave up its strife And gurgled down and down So angels say — on yesterday Just as the dawn was red One little boat — o'erspent with gales Retrimmed its masts — redecked its sails And shot — exultant on!
