Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

And he a winter breeze.”

sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
