Classic Poem

I

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.

II

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.
