THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC

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
