Heroes Of The Titanic

Honour the brave who sleep
Where the lost "Titanic" lies,
The men who knew what a man must do
When he looks Death in the eyes.
"Women and children first,"-
Ah, strong and tender cry!
The sons whom women had borne and nursed,
Remembered,-and dared to die.
The boats crept off in the dark:
The great ship groaned: and then,-
O stars of the night, who saw that sight,
Bear witness, These were men!
