Sun in blood-shade setting, hope there is no more. The gale in triumph howls, and on the sodden hills/ That rise above the chaos of the fatal sea,/ A genius of death ascended, and now he/ Assails the fortress long destroyed and further kills. Some on the deck lie dying, drowning in despair;/ Some fall in neighbor's arms and sadly say good bye;/ Some pray to drive the death away, some pray to die. One passenger sat calmly in a corner there,/ And thought: Oh happy he who's swooned amid this hell,/ Or prays or knows a man to say the last farewell!
