Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DBEB DFGGF| Adrift A little boat adrift | A |
| And night is coming down | B |
| Will no one guide a little boat | C |
| Unto the nearest town | B |

| So sailors say on yesterday | D |
| Just as the dusk was brown | B |
| One little boat gave up its strife | E |
| And gurgled down and down | B |

| But angels say on yesterday | D |
| Just as the dawn was red | F |
| One little boat o'erspent with gales | G |
| Retrimmed its masts redecked its sails | G |
| Exultant onward sped | F |
