“Heroes of the Titanic”<\/p>\n

Honour the brave who sleep
\nWhere the lost “Titanic” lies,
\nThe men who knew what a man must do
\nWhen he looks Death in the eyes.<\/p>\n

“Women and children first,”–
\nAh, strong and tender cry!
\nThe sons whom women had borne and nursed,
\nRemembered,–and dared to die.<\/p>\n

The boats crept off in the dark:
\nThe great ship groaned: and then,–
\nO stars of the night, who saw that sight,
\nBear witness, These were men!<\/p>\n
