The untold pathetic song still sings the reality of life as per the perception of the poet. This poem is really amazing poem of the day..
You won't be able to tell them was an intentionally dreadful poet who carried an umbrella and laughed when the local threw rotten vegetables at him.
I shudder to think of the circumstances the poor mariner went through. This is a tale of dread and anguish to keep one spell bound. Rhymes are the one that add charm to it.
To start a tale is easy but difficult to finish, ............. just this poem, ..... well done

Such a great excellent write by William Topaz McGonagall👍👍👍
A Tale Of The Sea - Poem by William Topaz McGonagall.) **What a tale; a bone-chilling poem, masterfully crafted. And, from stanza to stanza, a cliff hanger till the end.
So deeply poignant and gripping. A well written poem adorned with great rhyme depicting the harsh realities of life.
