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! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PAST AND PRESENT by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON DOCTOR FELL by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS THE GREAT SAINT BERNARD by SAMUEL ROGERS EL HOMBRE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS VERSES DESIGNED TO BE SENT TO MR.
