Love's the boy stood on the burning decktrying to recite `The boy stood onthe 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, whowould like a schoolroom platform, too, or an excuse to stay on deck.
And love's the burning boy.
This poem is based upon Casabianca by Felicia Dorothea Hemans JS
