TWAS SUCH A LITTLE, LITTLE BOAT by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: My little craft was lost!
Subject(s): BOATS; LOSS;
'Twas such a little - little boat
That toddled down the bay!
'Twas such a gallant - gallant sea
That beckoned it away!

'Twas such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the Coast -
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost!
