ADRIFT! A LITTLE BOAT ADRIFT!, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: And shot — exultant on! Subject(s): Boats | |||
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...BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS WATCHING THE NEEDLEBOATS AT SAN SABBA by JAMES JOYCE POEM FOR THE SEVENTH DAY by EVE MERRIAM MISSING THE BOAT by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE BLESSING THE BOATS (AT ST.
