Felicia Hemans's poem He Never Smiled Again is an ode to Henry I's reaction to his son and only male heir perishing in the tragedy

  > The bark that held a prince went down,  
  > The sweeping waves roll’d on;  
  > And what was England’s glorious crown  
  > To him that wept a son?  
  > He lived-for life may long be borne  
  > Ere sorrow break its chain;-  
  > Why comes not death to those who mourn?  
  > —He never smiled again!
