The Titanic left Southampton With all its sports and gang; When they struck the iceberg, I know their mind was changed. Chorus 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...SITTING BULL IN SERBIA by WILLIAM JAY SMITH TO THE EXCELLENT ORINDA by PHILO PHILIPPA EPIGRAM OCCASIONED BY CIBBER'S VERSES IN PRAISE OF NASH: 1 by ALEXANDER POPE THE GIFT OF THE GODS by JOHN GODFREY SAXE TO CHRISTOPHER NORTH by ALFRED TENNYSON BEAU NASH by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER BEAU NASH AND THE ROMAN, OR THE TWO ERAS by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
