Wild Woods Grave and a Sailor's Tale
A verse piece on a quiet grave in the wild woods ends with a hopeful vision of rest by a blue stream. The piece transitions to a backstory about Captain Daggett and a young midshipman aboard the Congress in 1818, recalling a daring moment at sea and the rise of Commander Ingraham, the hero of Smyrna.
