Heroes of the Titanic

Honour the brave who sleep

Where the lost Titanic lies,

The men who knew what a man must do

When he looks Death in the eyes.

“Women and children first,”⁠—

Ah, strong and tender cry!

The sons whom women had borne and nursed,

Remembered⁠—and dared to die.

The boats crept off in the dark:

The great ship groaned: and then⁠—

O stars of the night, who saw that sight,

Bear witness, These were men!
