Every 10th word

It tossed and tossed, —
A little brig I knew, —
O'ertook by blast,
It spun and spun,
And delirious, for morn.

It slipped and slipped,
As one drunken stepped;
Its white foot tripped,
Then dropped from sight.

Ah, brig, good-night
To crew and you;
The ocean's too smooth, too blue,
To break for you.
