    “Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
    Went down the list of the dead.

    The crews of the gig and yawl,
    The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
    Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

    If with too credent ear you list his songs,

    And homeward led my steps. Magnificent
    The morning rose, in memorable pomp,

    The solid mountains shone, bright as the clouds,
    Grain-tinctured, drenched in empyrean light;”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
