Casabianca

 Love's the boy stood on the burning deck
trying to recite "The boy stood on
the burning deck.
" Love's the son
 stood stammering elocution
 while the poor ship in flames went down.


Love's the obstinate boy, the ship,
even the swimming sailors, who
would like a schoolroom platform, too,
 or an excuse to stay
 on deck.
 And love's the burning boy.
