There stand, in woe
The thousands in need
And know that death
Will wash them down.
Then the cry, "Save yourselves
Into the boats quickly, women
No man dare
Take a place there."
But listen to one woman-soul
Who can say,
"I won't stir from the spot
I'll die here with my husband."
Let small and large Honor
The name of IDA STRAUS!
