Felicia Dorothea Hemans, a Romantic poet born in 1793, gained acclaim for her lyricism and domestic themes. Influenced by Wordsworth and Byron, her 19 volumes of poetry, including “Records of Woman,” reflect the sentiments and ideals of her era.
‘Casabianca’ by Felicia Hemans describes a boy’s refusal to leave his father’s ship, despite the fact that it’s being consumed by flames and is soon to sink. He waits for an order from his father, unaware that he has passed away.
The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
Shone round him o’er the dead.
