Wallace Hartley,Titanic Bandmaster

As I gather them to the first class lounge Surely we will calm down the throng. Of mothers in shock,fathers at a loss. Crying wee ones encased in their arms. Lifeboats not nearly enough I hear. And so we play together as one. The piano and cellos,the violins. Kindred spirits fighting our terror. On we play as the air becomes frozen. Horrific screams we play beyond. Seven band members and I. Wallace Hartley is my name. Please do remember me. The bandmaster am I and these Are the last moments of my life. And so I instruct the band to play One last song to say good-bye. "Nearer My God To Thee" reverberates Across the splintering bow as all light From this world is extinguished at last.
