The sinking of the Titanic, and other poems
BY C. VICTOR STAHL Author of “Zorabella,” etc.
BOSTON SHERMAN, FRENCH & COMPANY 1915

Oh, Titan was her gorgeous armament
And Titan was her sail and crew;
A thing of pride to sweep the surging tide
And laugh to scorn the perilous blue.
Yet let us weep not for her treasured hulk
That sank leagues deep into the sea,
But for the toll of ill-starred voyagers
Who rode her to eternity.
I see the glory of that primal hour
Clarence Victor Stahl
