doomed - Popular Poems and stories from category

The doomed ship drives on helpless through the sea,
All that the mariners may do is done And death is left for men to gaze upon,
While side by side two friends sit silently;
Friends once, foes once, and now by death made free Of Lov...

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
— Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
