But decks that now are in the seed, And cannon yet within the mine, Shall thrill the deeper, gun and pine, Because of the Tecumseh's glorious deed. BUT DECKS THAT NOW ARE IN THE SEED AND CANNON YET WITHIN THE MINE SHALL THRILL THE DEEPER GUN AND PINE BECAUSE OF THE TUCUMSA'S GLORIOUS DEED
onongahela struck--and reeled; The Lackawana’s prow Next crashed--crashed, but not crashing; then The Admiral rammed, and rasping nigh Sloped in a broadside, which glanced by: The Monitors battered at her adamant den. The Chickasaw plunged beneath the stern And pounded there; a huge wrought orb From the Manhattan pierced one wall, but dropped; Others the seas absorb. Yet stormed on all sides, narrowed in, Hampered and cramped, the bad one fought-- Spat ribald curses from the port Who shutters, jammed, locked up this Man-of-Sin. No pause or stay. They made a din Like hammers round a boiler forged; Now straining strength tangled itself with strength, Till Hate her will disgorged. The white flag showed, the fight was won-- Mad shouts went up that shook the Bay; But pale on the scarred fleet’s decks there lay A silent man for every silenced gun. And quiet far below the wave, Where never cheers shall move their sleep, Some who did boldly, nobly earn them, lie-- Charmed children of the deep. TH RUSHING BEAKS AND NOW FIRST THE MANONGA HELA STRUCK AND REELED THE LACAWANA'S PROW NECKS CRASHED CRASHED BUT NOT CRASHING THEN THE ADMIRAL RAMMED AND RASPING NIGH SLOPED IN A BROADSIDE WHICH GLANCED BY THE MONITORS BATTERED AT HER ADAMANT DEN THE CHICKASAW PLUNGED BENEATH THE STERN AND POUNDED THERE A HUGE WROUGHT ORB FROM THE MANHATTAN PIERCED ONE WALL BUT DROPPED OTHERS THE SEAS ABSORB YET STORMED ON ALL SIDES NARROWED IN HAMPERED AND CRAMPED THE BAD ONE FOUGHT SPAT RIBALD CURSES FROM THE PORT WHO SHUDDERS JAMMED LOCKED UP THIS MAN OF SIN NO PAUSE OR STAY THEY MADE A DIN LIKE HAMMERS ROUND A BOILER FORGED NOW STRAINING STRENGTH TANGLED ITSELF WITH STRENGTH TILL HATE HER WILL DISGORGED THE WHITE FLAG SHOWED THE FIGHT WAS WON MAD SHOUTS WENT UP THAT SHOOK THE BAY BUT PALE ON THE SCARRED FLEET'S DECKS THERE LAY A SILENT MAN FOR EVERY SILENCED GUN AND QUIET FAR BELOW THE WAVE WHERE NEVER CHEERS SHALL MOVE THEIR SLEEP SOME WHO DID BOLDLY NOBLY EARN THEM LIE CHARMED CHILDREN OF THE DEEP
