The Wreck of the Titanic
By Charles T. Hannirsn.

There's tales of land, there's tales
OF sea,
But none Of them are as sad 10 me.
AS the fate Of the largest steamer
built.
That was sheated in the sea like a
sword to its hilt.
She proudly left Old England's shore.
With sixteen hundred souls or more.
Ggandly she swept with rise and din.
This monster on her maiden trip.
Then like a bolt from a clear sky
There came a shock and>then a cry.
The lifeboats take the women first.
The men stood back, they knew the
worst
Had happened to the monster ship
On her first and last and only trip.
Some we're saved to tell the tale,
While other died with faces pale.
With song on their lips of God in His
might,
They stayed on the ship as she sank
from sight.
The blue sea rolls where the lost
ones sleep,
Two miles down in the briny deep,
While on land mourn and yearn.
For those who have gone and Will
never return.
