THE TITANIC DISASTER POEM, SELECTION, by                    
First Line: And strauss, who did the children feed
Last Line: As went down in the blue.
Subject(s): Devotion; Disasters; Ships & Shipping; Shipwrecks; Straus, Isidor (1845-1912); Straus, Rosalie Ida (blun) (1849-1912); Titanic (ship)


And Strauss, who did the children feed,
Had mercy on the poor,
And all such men the world doth need
To reverence evermore.
Oh, may the union of Strauss and wife
Be memorial to all men,
Each for the other gave their life,
A life we should commend;
And may all the girls who chance in life
To read this poem thru
Emulate the deed of such a wife,
As went down in the blue.
