IT TOSSED AND TOSSED, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
Last Line: To break for you
Subject(s): Boats

It tossed - and tossed -
A little Brig I knew - o'ertook by Blast -
It spun - and spun -
And groped delirious, for Morn -

It slipped - and slipped -
As One that drunken - stept -
Its white foot tripped -
Then dropped from sight -

Ah, Brig - Good Night
To Crew and You -
The Ocean's Heart too smooth - too Blue -
To break for You
