The Wreck of the Titanic
Jeanette Forrest
"All aboard"
Boat Whistle
The voyage begins "A Life on the Ocean Wave" A Two-Step by Starlight Everybody happy and care-free The last "Good-night" as passengers separate until morning.
Good night; may God protect us As o'er the wave we glide; The stars are shining brightly, No evil can betide. O may you slumber sweetly Until the morning light; Our voyage will soon be over, Good night my love, good night.
Crash!
"What is the matter"
Crash! Crash!
The iceberg is discovered. Whistle sounds the alarm All rushing to the deck The awful truth is realized Women and children escape while men and band render "Nearer my God to Thee" as the big ship sinks Music grows fainter and fainter
