Explanation:
The items mentioned in the third stanza are comfort items that the speaker takes to bed. The wedding cake refers to a child’s soft spot for sweets. The toys are typical of children, especially to take to bed. The speaker even reverts to the toys as part of him in lien 13 when he states, “across the dark we steer.” The darkness in the first line of the last stanza is the empty sleep that the speaker is experiencing. However, the darkness does not last. Day finally arrives, and the speaker eagerly jumps off board the boat to return to shore where he does not need help looking for his “vessel,” which is his bed.
