The @3Titanic@1 left Southampton With all its sports and gang; When they struck the iceberg, I know their mind was changed. @3Chorus@1 Many hearts surrendered to the shipwreck; On the sea many hearts surrendered, Crying, "Nearer, My God to Thee." The fourteenth of April, Nineteen hundred and twelve, The ship wrecked by the iceberg Went down forever to dwell. The story of the shipwreck Is most too sad to tell; One thousand and six hundred Went down forever to dwell. Mothers told their daughters On a pleasure trip they might go; But since they struck the iceberg, They haven't been seen any more. A man, John Jacob Astor, A man with pluck and brains, When that great ship was going down, All the women he tried to save. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOCTURNE OF REMEMBERED SPRING by CONRAD AIKEN GETTING A WORD IN by JAMES GALVIN THE SACRAL DREAMS OF RAMON FERNANDEZ by JAMES GALVIN A SONG OF COURAGE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON BONNYBELL: THE BUTTERFLY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS DILIGENCE IS TO MAGIC AS PROGRESS IS TO FLIGHT by MARIANNE MOORE |
