Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part One: Life 23. 'T was such a little, little boat


UNRETURNING.


'T was such a little, little boat

That toddled down the bay!

'T was such a gallant, gallant sea

That beckoned it away!


'T was such a greedy, greedy wave

That licked it from the coast;

Nor ever guessed the stately sails

My little craft was lost!
