it was pitch black and cold at eleven forty
the giant liner hit an iceberg out at sea
there were warnings via radio telegraphy
by the californian in close proximity
too late the starboard side scraped the ice glancingly
water poured in where the hull lost integrity
more than two hours next morning at two twenty
it broke in two and sank in icy agony
out of queenstown the ship was supposed to carry
over two thousand two hundred and twenty three
over fifteen hundred would die in tragedy
over seven hundred would live their destiny
before the sinking crewmen worked tirelessly
to keep boilers up and power on sparingly
the last futile cry would come from the marconi
morse codes sent were c q d, c q d, c q________
