Alfred Tennyson

Summary

Portrait of Alfred Tennyson Alfred Tennyson,  The Captain

“ Pale he turn’d and red,
Till himself was deadly wounded
Falling on the dead.
Dismal error! fearful slaughter!
Years have wander’d by;
Side by side beneath the water
Crew and Captain lie;
There the sunlit ocean tosses
O’er them the mouldering,
And the lonely seabird crosses
With one waft of the wing.
This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
