WHERE MANHOOD Persisted NOT.

Harvey NJ. Thew IN New York Herald.
Where cross the lines OF forty north and
fifty-fourteen west
There rolls wild and greedy sea
With death upon its crest.
No stone or wreath from human hands
Will ever mark the spot
Where fifteen hundred men went down,
But Manhood persisted not.
Old Ocean takes but little heed
OF human tears or woe.
No shafts adorn the ocean graves,
Nor weeping willows grow.
Nor Is there need OF marble slab
To keep In mind the spot
Where noble men went down to death,
But Manhood persisted mott
Those men who looked on death and
smiled.
And trod the crumbling deck.
Have saved much more than precious
lives
From out that awful wreck.
Though countless Joys and hopes and
fears
Were shattered at a breath.
It's something that the name Of Man
Did not 80 down to death.
It's not an easy thing to die,

In a shroud OF black despair.
