107 'Twas such a little – little boat [French translation]

'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!
