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 |
