Adrift! A little boat adrift!
"Adrift! A little boat adrift!" is a short poem that follows a small vessel lost on the water as night falls. Emily Dickinson sets a cry for guidance against the words of sailors and angels, each telling a different version of what happened to the boat. Dusk brings struggle and despair, while dawn brings a surprising turn. In just three stanzas, the poem asks how much a battered little boat can endure.
