On Passing Deadman’s Island

by Thomas Moore

On Passing Deadman’s Island is a lyrical poem by Thomas Moore, an Irish poet known for his Romantic and satirical works. The poem is believed to have been inspired by Moore's travels in Nova Scotia during his Grand Tour following his brief stay in Bermuda as the registrar to the Admiralty. It describes the beauty and majesty of the natural world, particularly the ocean and the islands, while reflecting on the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of life. The poem is characterized by its evocative imagery, musical language, and melancholic tone.
