Whence all but he had fled.. then some more is the original but...

The boy stood on the burning deck
playing a game of cricket
The ball went up his trouser leg
And stumped his middle wicket

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.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud, though childlike form.
The flames roll'd on...he would not go
Without his father's word;
That father, faint in death below,
His voice no longer heard.
He call'd aloud..."Say, father, say
If yet my task is done!"
He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious of his son.
"Speak, father!" once again he cried
"If I may yet be gone!"
And but the booming shots replied,
And fast the flames roll'd on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath,
And in his waving hair,
And looked from that lone post of death,
In still yet brave despair;
And shouted but one more aloud,
"My father, must I stay?"
While o'er him fast, through sail and shroud
The wreathing fires made way,
They wrapt the ship in splendour wild,
They caught the flag on high,
And stream'd above the gallant child,
Like banners in the sky.
There came a burst of thunder sound...
The boy-oh! where was he?
Ask of the winds that far around
With fragments strewed the sea.
With mast, and helm, and pennon fair,
That well had borne their part;
But the noblest thing which perished there
Was that young faithful heart.

The boy stood on the burning deck
Picking his nose like mad
Rolling it into little balls
And flicking them at his dad.

The boy stood on the burning deck
His pockets full of crackers
One went off between his legs
And paralysed his knackers.

His legs all full a'quiver.
He gave a cough
His head dropped off
And floated down the river.

The boat was sinking fast
He called to those in the lifeboat
"Help - I'm stuck to the mast!"
