The Devil and The Boy

Through the mist and fog/ a dinghy did appear/ 
A boy he clung to life/ his eyes awash with fear.
Men! Pull him aboard I say/ He'll not perish here/ 
Boy what have you seen?/ A tale starts oh so queer.

He said "Across our bones,/ The Devil sailed his ship."/ 
"A chill went through our souls/ as he ordered his powder lit."
"A thunderous roar and flash/ Then our vessel was hit./ 
The second barrage fired/ Our ship was wet tinder sticks."

He cried "I am but ten!/ My Ma and cos'n now perished."/ 
"My boy what of the crew?"/ "Alas, they are all dead."
Then he slipped into twilight/ and rested his weary head./ 
And as our own eve fell,/ Our bones were filled with dread.

As he slept undisturbed/ the Devils thunder fired on us./ 
The chain shot pulled our mast away,/ the case shots tore our guts.
Fast we sank in panic./ As I dropped, I dared look up./ 
The boy was aboard his dinghy,/ And he led the Devil on.
