In Memory of the “Titanic” Victims: A Poem

In Memory of the "Titanic" Victims The glowing firmament, the vast, resounding sea, Earth, air and depth, O God, declare thy majesty. To who would understand what manhood true can he. Comes a sermon from the depths of the icy northern sea. As silent witnesses they all are lying there — The artist, the laborer, the peasant, the millionaire. The heroes of the deep, Columbia's noble sons! Their names shall ever stand among the bravest ones. No pomp of battle theirs— with flag of peace unfurled. They gave their gallant lives for the mothers of the world. Their names and deeds may be recorded by the pen. But the greatness of their death shall live in hearts of men. Long years may come and go, but many a voice shall cry: "God teach me how to live, as they knew how to die." Jennie Snow Christensen. manti, utah
