There actually should be an indent in every other line of the poem starting
with the 2nd line for people using this poem.

If you didn't know already.. The Hesperus is an actual sailing vessel
located in Port Charles, England.

Norman's Woe is an area of shore in Cape Ann, Massachusetts. I figured
others might be curious... ^_^

I understand that the Wreck of the Hesperus was not a true story but was
based on the many wrecks in that area and some of the things that could
have or did happen.
