Unreturning

XXIII. 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 !

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
"I had no time to hate, because"	"Whether my bark went down at sea"
