A giant of steel, a dream of man's design,
She cleaved the waves, a floating palace grand,
With lights ablaze, a spectacle divine,
Across the ocean, bound for distant land.
But icy breath, a berg of frozen might,
Unseen, unheard, a fatal, silent foe,
Tore through her hull in the dark of night,
And plunged her grandeur to the depths below.
The cries of souls, a symphony of fear,
As icy waters claimed them, one by one,
A chilling tale, forever held so dear,
Of debris shattered, and a voyage done.
So let us learn, from that disastrous fate,
That pride goes down, and humbles even the great.
