    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.
    . . . .
    The flames roll'd on--he would not go
    Without his Father's word;
    That father, faint in death below,
    His voice no longer heard.

And in its hollow tones are heard
The thanks of millions yet to be.
