The Titanic Disaster Poem

I.

On the cold and dark Atlantic,
The night was growing late
Steamed the maiden ship Titanic
Crowded with human freight
She was valued at Ten Million,
The grandest ever roamed the seas,
Fitted complete to swim the ocean
When the rolling billows freeze.

II.

She bade farewell to England
All dressed in robes of white
Going out to plow the briny deep,
And was on her western flight;
She was now so swiftly gliding
In L Fifty and Fourteen
When the watchman viewed the monster
Just a mile from it, ’Twas seen.

III.

Warned by a German vessel
Of an enemy just ahead
Of an Iceberg, that sea monster,
That which the seamen dread.
On steamed this great Titanic;
She was in her swiftest flight;
She was trying to break the record,
On that fearful, fearful night.

IV.

Oh; she was plowing the Ocean
For speed not known before,
But alas, she struck asunder
To last for ever more,
A wireless message began to spread
Throughout the mighty deep, it said,
“We have struck an iceberg, being delayed;
Please rush to us with aid.”

V.

The Captain, of the White Star Line,
Who stood there in command,
Was an Admiral of seasoned mind
Enroute to the western land.
The Captain thought not of his life
But stood there to the last
And swimming saved a little child
As it came floating past.

VI.

Outstretched hands offered reward
For his brave and heroic deed
But the intrepid man went down aboard
Trying to rescue a passenger instead
This ill-starred giant of the sea
Was carried to his grave
On the last and greatest ship, was he,
That ever cleft a wave.

VII.

Gay was the crew aboard this ship,
Passengers large and small;
They viewed the coming danger,
They felt it one and all.
On played the grand Orchestra
Their notes were soft and clear;
They realized God’s power on land
On sea ’twas just as near.

VIII.

So they played this glorious anthem
Continued on the sea
And repeated the beautiful chorus
“Nearer My God To Thee.”
Then silenced when the ship went down
Their notes were heard no more.
Surely they’ll wear a starry crown
On that Celestial Shore.

IX.

Colonel Astor, a millionaire,
Scholarly and profound,
Said to his wife, “I’ll meet you dear
Tomorrow in York Town.”
His bride asked a seaman true
“Oh say! may husband go;”
The echo came upon the blue
He answered, “He may, you know.”

X.

This man rushed not to his seat
He seem to have no fear,
Being calm, serene and discreet
Tendered it to a lady near,
“Oh go, he said, my darling wife
Please be not in despair,
Be of good cheer, as sure as life,
I’ll meet you over there.”

XI.

Well could he have known this dreadful night
The sea would be his grave
Though he worked with all his might
For those whom he could save.
This man a soldier once has been
Of military art,
Proved himself full competent then
To do his noble part.

XII.

Major Butt, well known to fame
A lady did entreat,
To kindly name him to his friends
Whom she perchance to meet.
He forced the men to realize
The weaker they should save;
He gave his life with no surprise
To the sea—a watery grave;
And with a smile upon his face
He turned to meet his fate,
Soon, soon the sea would be his grave
In and ever after date.

XIII.

And Strauss, who did the children feed,
Had mercy on the poor,
And all such men the world doth need
To reverence evermore.
Oh, may the union of Strauss and wife
Be memorial to all men,
Each for the other gave their life,
A life we should commend;
And may all girls who chance in life
To read this poem thru
Emulate the deed of such a wife,
As went down in the blue.

XIV.

Down, down goes the great Titanic
With faster and faster speed
Until Alas! there comes a burst
She bade farewell indeed
Farewell, farewell to land and seas,
Farewell to wharves and shore,
For I must land beneath the breeze
To reach the land no more
I carry with me more human weight
Than ever recorded before
To leave them on a land sedate
They will land, Oh! land no more.

XV.

Only a few you see,
May tell the story
Of this great calamity;
Husbands, Wives, perhaps in glory
View the sad catastrophe.
The Carpathia eastern bound
For the Mediterranean sea,
Turned to the mighty sound,
The wireless C. Q. D.

XVI.

Quick was the preparation made,
To warn the unfortunate few,
For the homeless was cold and delayed
Being chilled by the wind as it blew.
So to the youth
Through life has started,
Be ever thoughtful and true,
Stay by the truth, be not departed
Success shall come to you

Oh, may you shun the Iceberg,
By the dreadful work was wrought,
And prosper by the lesson
This mighty ship has taught.

Your Jaw Will Drop Open When You See This…

Dave Robus — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:14:31 +0000

HONESTLY…Just take a look at the video
Even if you do nothing else!

Your Jaw Will Drop Open When You See This…

I have to admit, I didn’t believe this
myself when I first heard about it.

You’d have to be nuts to believe you could
make this kind of money by legally
“stealing” some of the coolest marketing
technology in the world.

http://oldbook.affcashsni.hop.clickbank.net/

Some of the biggest Internet businesses
out there are using this technology
breakthrough.

They paid literally millions, if not
billions of dollars for it…and now for
the first time YOU can get it for
yourself.

These two guys are bringing it to you for
a pittance.

http://oldbook.affcashsni.hop.clickbank.net/

You can call this a tool if you want, or
software, or a technique…honestly I
don’t care.

What matters is that this is so powerful
it’ll make your jaw drop open as you stare
in amazement.

Everything you thought you knew about
Internet marketing is now going to gather
dust on a shelf, because this is THE wave
of the future.

http://oldbook.affcashsni.hop.clickbank.net/

I’m telling you, there are going to be two
kinds of people going forward.

There will be those who try to do things
the old way, and they’ll get flattened
like road kill.

And then there will be the smart ones who
strap on this jet pack and watch their
incomes launch into space.

http://oldbook.affcashsni.hop.clickbank.net/

You get to pick which group you belong to.
Just watch that video and you’ll see
exactly what I mean.

To your success.

How to use the Public Domain

Dave Robus — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:48:47 +0000

Derivative works include translations, musical arrangements, and dramatizations of a work, as well as other forms of transformation or adaptation.

Copyrighted works may not be used for derivative works without permission from the copyright owner, while public domain works can be freely used for derivative works without permission.

Artworks that are public domain may also be reproduced photographically or artistically or used as the basis of new, interpretive works.
P
Once works enter into the public domain, derivative works such as adaptations in book and film may increase noticeably, as happened with Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novel The Secret Garden, which became public domain in 1987

As of 1999, the plays of Shakespeare, all public domain, had been used in more than 420 feature-length films. In addition to straightforward adaptation, they have been used as the launching point for transformative retellings such as Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and Troma Entertainment’s Tromeo and Juliet. Marcel Duchamp’s L.H.O.O.Q. is a derivative of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, one of thousands of derivative works based on the public domain
If you want to learn how to use the Public Domain to your advantage maybe Old Books Make Money can help you.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

Dave Robus — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:29:18 +0000

I am reading this book at the moment, written by Ayn Rand in the early 1900′s. It is a brilliant read about a young architect’s struggle to make it in life and business. Even though it was written in 1943 the whole basis of the book is in my opinion relevant to today’s struggling internet entrepreneur. Or for that matter any start up entrepreneur looking to make his stamp on life and business. If you can get a copy I thoroughly recommend this really old book. Check it out on amazon, modern classic versions are available.

Hi Everyone,

Well it's been a little while since I last posted to this blog. To be honest I've been very busy just lately producing my new website which I hope to let you know about quite soon. I believe when this is introduced you will benefit from it to a very great degree.

However loyal readers in the meantime I have received an update to one of the best money making projects that I ever had the chance to participate in and benefit from in the past.

It just so happens though that the new 3rd copy of the book contains even more information on how to profit from old prints and the like, that are easily found all over the world in junk shops, craft markets, boot fairs and even your Old Grannie's attic

that I just had to break off from what I was doing for a while, in order to let you know about it before the information becomes general public knowledge.

After all even though there is a massive amount for everyone and no chance of them ever running out and I really do mean NOT EVER RUNNING OUT, I would still prefer it if my own readers got to have their pick of the bunch first in order to have a running start with their own favourite choices.

My colleague Stuart leaves nothing uncovered in telling you exactly how to go about making a fantastic income from finding or buying old prints and then reselling them in a new way on ebay.

My recommendation to you all would be to go check it out straight away.

Then you could join Stuart and myself in making some great money out of this extremely simple to operate project within just a few short days from now.
