Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part One: Life LI |
| IT tossed and tossed,— | |
| A little brig I knew,— | |
| O’ertook by blast, | |
| It spun and spun, | |
| And groped delirious, for morn. | 5 |
| It slipped and slipped, | |
| As one that drunken stepped; | |
| Its white foot tripped, | |
| Then dropped from sight. | |
| Ah, brig, good-night | 10 |
| To crew and you; | |
| The ocean’s heart too smooth, too blue, | |
| To break for you. |
