Riddle of the Week

This Week's Riddle

A mixed up birth, beaten young,

Pockmarked face, has no tongue.

Cast in irons, denied the sun,

But soon he tanned and brown becomes.

Sweet the blood he then might hold,

Or perhaps he'll swim in gold,

Often though, a milky cloud

Will become his funeral shroud.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
