Final answer:
An exact title for the poem that Ben wrote at the age of 12 about a drowning cannot be determined from the available excerpts and references.
Step-by-step explanation:
The poem written by Ben when he was 12 about a drowning is not provided in the information given. However, the excerpts presented seem to suggest a common theme of the sea and its associated perils, as well as the reflection on death. Phillis Wheatley's poem, for instance, is titled "A Poem on the death of Charles Eliot aged 12 mo. To Mr. S Eliot" and it deals with the theme of death, although not necessarily a drowning. The other excerpts, while evocative of the sea, fear, and potential loss, do not provide the name of Ben's specific poem about drowning. Therefore, based on the available information, an exact title for Ben's poem cannot be determined.
