For Alden March	A
	-
	-
With drooping sail and pennant	B
That never a wind may reach	C
They float in sunless waters	D
Beside a sunless beach	C
Their mighty masts and funnels	E
Are white as driven snow	F
And with a pallid radiance	G
Their ghostly bulwarks glow	F
	-
Here is a Spanish galleon	H
That once with gold was gay	I
Here is a Roman trireme	J
Whose hues outshone the day	I
But Tyrian dyes have faded	K
And prows that once were bright	L
With rainbow stains wear only	M
Death's livid dreadful white	L
	-
White as the ice that clove her	N
That unforgotten day	I
Among her pallid sisters	D
The grim Titanic lay	I
And through the leagues above her	N
She looked aghast and said	O
What is this living ship that comes	P
Where every ship is dead	O
	-
The ghostly vessels trembled	Q
From ruined stern to prow	R
What was this thing of terror	N
That broke their vigil now	R
Down through the startled ocean	H
A mighty vessel came	J
Not white as all dead ships must be	M
But red like living flame	J
	-
The pale green waves about her	N
Were swiftly strangely dyed	S
By the great scarlet stream that flowed	T
From out her wounded side	S
And all her decks were scarlet	U
And all her shattered crew	V
She sank among the white ghost ships	W
And stained them through and through	V
	-
The grim Titanic greeted her	N
And who art thou she said	O
Why dost thou join our ghostly fleet	X
Arrayed in living red	O
We are the ships of sorrow	F
Who spend the weary night	L
Until the dawn of Judgment Day	I
Obscure and still and white	L
	-
Nay said the scarlet visitor	N
Though I sink through the sea	M
A ruined thing that was a ship	Y
I sink not as did ye	M
For ye met with your destiny	M
By storm or rock or fight	L
So through the lagging centuries	Z
Ye wear your robes of white	L
	-
But never crashing iceberg	A2
Nor honest shot of foe	F
Nor hidden reef has sent me	M
The way that I must go	F
My wound that stains the waters	D
My blood that is like flame	J
Bear witness to a loathly deed	B2
A deed without a name	J
	-
I went not forth to battle	C2
I carried friendly men	D2
The children played about my decks	E2
The women sang and then	D2
And then the sun blushed scarlet	U
And Heaven hid its face	F2
The world that God created	K
Became a shameful place	F2
	-
My wrong cries out for vengeance	G
The blow that sent me here	G2
Was aimed in Hell My dying scream	J
Has reached Jehovah's ear	G2
Not all the seven oceans	H2
Shall wash away that stain	I2
Upon a brow that wears a crown	J2
I am the brand of Cain	I2
	-
When God's great voice assembles	E
The fleet on Judgment Day	I
The ghosts of ruined ships will rise	K2
In sea and strait and bay	I
Though they have lain for ages	L2
Beneath the changeless flood	K
They shall be white as silver	N
But one shall be like blood	K
