Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
And none shall speak his name.”

Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
