True or False
This poem is about an actual shipwreck in which 40 people lost their lives. The poem contrasts
the joy at the survival of four people and the sorrow that 40 people died. It is this sorrow/loss that
us the focus of stanzas three and four. The tale is told to children on a cold winter night. The
speaker’s sorrow is clear and there is no empty cliché offered as “only the waves reply”.
