    the little white lesions
    settle on the street outside.”

    “The boy stood on the burning deck,
    Whence all but he had fled;
    The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
    Shone round him o’er the dead.

    Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
    As born to rule the storm;
    A creature of heroic blood,
    A proud though childlike form.”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
