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!
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!
