Poem A Day

Witchcraft was hung, in History,

by Emily Dickinson

'Twas such a little -- little boat

That toddled down the bay!

'Twas such a gallant -- gallant sea

That beckoned it away!

'Twas such a greedy, greedy wave

That licked it from the Coast --

Nor ever guessed the stately sails

My little craft was lost!
