HOBSON AND HIS MEN, by ROBERT LOVEMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Hobson went towards death and hell Last Line: Hobson and his men. Subject(s): Hobson, Richmond Pearson (1870-1937); Sea Battles; Spanish-american War (1898); Naval Warfare | |||
HOBSON went towards death and hell, Hobson and his men, Unregarding shot and shell, And the rain of fire that fell; Calm, undaunted, fearless, bold, Every heart a heart of gold, Steadfast, daring, uncontrolled, -- Hobson and his men. Hobson came from death and hell, Hobson and his men, Shout the tidings, ring the bell, Let the pealing anthems swell; Back from wreck and raft and wave, From the shadow of the grave, Every honor to the brave, -- Hobson and his men. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOST ABOARD U.S.S.
