Titanic proud and scornful, Floating palace cf the 6ea; When you siarted oi your voyage. Little thought the last would be. With your captain, and your sailors, Just as bnve as brave could be; And so many wealthy people With their lives from care so free. Little thought of all the sorrow. On that voyage they would see. Thai ere sunrise on the morrow Theirs a watery grave would be. Yes, the skies were clear above you. And the waters seemed so calm; Ere you sailed rrac'g the ice floes. Thinking naught of any harm. Oh! the horror of that midnight When you struck that mounfn berg. When the jarring of the ship side Win the only sound you heard. When the life boats, they were low'rd And the eaptata gave commands; Even then you did not realize 1 Of the dciger close at hand. I For you thought Ve brave Titanic, Floating palace of the sea. The no harm could ever reach her, Stormy waves or icy seas. All was quiet, no confusion On the broad Titanlc's decks; Loved ones parted from their loved ones, Never more on earth to meet. . Some were singing.some were praying And they heard the rockets boom. Yet. the captaVi did his duty, Even though the ship was doomed. 1 And at lrt;t the waters parted, Just as quiet as could be; While the band was softly playing "Nearer, my God, to Thee." Then the wrers closed above it, Where the gallant ship went down; God be with the souls that perished 0,n the broad Titanlc's decks. Written by Mrs. W- B. Johnson, 43 Seminary Ave., Binghfienptan, N.
