Dante Gabriel Rossetti - The Last Three From Trafalgar At The Anniversary Banquet, st October -
Work rating: Low

IN grappled ships around The Victory, 
Three boys did England`s Duty with stout cheer, 
While one dread truth was kept from every ear, 
More dire than deafening fire that churned the sea: 
For in the flag-ship`s weltering cockpit, he 
Who was the Battle`s Heart without a peer, 
He who had seen all fearful sights save Fear, 
Was passing from all life save Victory.
And round the old memorial board to-day, 
Three greybeards—each a warworn British Tar— 
View through the mist of years that hour afar: 
Who soon shall greet, `mid memories of fierce fray, 
The impassioned soul which on its radiant way 
Soared through the fiery cloud of Trafalgar.
