Escaped the gale of outer ocean   Cribbed in a craft which like a log Was washed by every billow's motion   By night you heard of Og The huge; nor felt your courage clog At tokens of his onset grim: You marked the sunk ship's flag staff slim, Lit by her burning sister's heart; You marked, and mused: "Day brings the trial: Then be it proved if I have part With men whose manhood never took denial." ESCAPED THE GALE OF OUTER OCEAN CREPT IN A CRAFT WHICH LIKE A LOG WAS WASHED BY EVERY BILLOW'S MOTION BY NIGHT YOU HEARD OF OG THE HUGE NOR FELT YOUR COURAGE CLOG AT TOKENS OF HIS ONSET GRIM YOU MARKED THE SUNSHIP'S FLAGSTAFF SLIM LIT BY HER BURNING SISTER'S HEART YOU MARKED AND MUSED DAY BRINGS THE TRIAL THEN BE IT PROVED IF I HAVE PART WITH MEN WHOSE MANHOOD NEVER TOOK DENIAL
umberland! Cumberland! What need to tell how she was fought-- The sinking flaming gun-- The gunner leaping out the port-- Washed back, undone! Her dead unconquerably manned The Cumberland. Noble name as ere was sung, Slowly roll it on the tongue-- Cumberland! Cumberland! Long as hearts shall share the flame Which burned in that brave crew, Her fame shall live--outlive the victor’s name; For this is due. Your flag and flag-staff shall in story stand-- Cumberland! Sounding name as ere was sung, Long they’ll roll it on the tongue-- Cumberland! Cumberland! In the Turret. (March, 1862.) Your honest heart of duty, Worden, So helped you that in fame you dwell; You bore the first iron battle’s burden Sealed as in a diving-bell. Alcides, groping into haunted hell To bring forth King Admetus’ bride, Braved naught more vaguely direful and untried. What poet shall uplift his charm, Bold Sailor, to your height of daring, And interblend therewith the calm, And build a goodly style upon your bearing.
