Explore "Broken Raft Adventure" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A man on Nova Scotian Bay / On broken raft was borne away, / Right out on the open sea / Where the storm did blow so free, / No shelter from the wind or wave / He thought the gulf would be his grave, / He had no food life to sustain, / He laid him down there to remain, / What happened he did know no more, / But old man on Prince Edward's shore / Saw raft drifting near his shed / And thought the poor man was quite dead, / He called for help and soon they bore / His lifeless body to the shore, / But old man he did them desire / To place the body near the fire, / And wrap it up in blankets warm, / Which did act like to a charm, / And soon the breath it did return, / With gratitude his heart did burn, / To think he was again restored / Unto his friends whom he adored.
