(31 May: 1916) DOWN went the grand 'Queen Mary', 'Queen Mary's' captain, and her crew; The brunt of battle bare he, And he died; And he died, as heroes do. More really now we view him, More really lives he, moves with men, Than while on earth we knew him As our fellow, As our fellow-denizen. Maybe amid the changes Of ocean's caverned dim profound, Gaily his spirit ranges With his comrades, With his comrades all around. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAND OF DREAMS by WILLIAM BLAKE GOOD-BY AND KEEP COLD by ROBERT FROST CHURCH-MUSICK [CHURCH MUSIC] by GEORGE HERBERT THE TENDER HUSBAND: PROLOGUE by JOSEPH ADDISON TO ANACREON by ANTIPATER OF SIDON THE GULF by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE THE SECOND BROTHER; AN UNFINISHED DRAMA by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
