EXTEMPORE LINES
On Reading the Kaiser's Telegram to the Berlin Chamber of Commerce.
January 6, 1915.
How did this hypocrite begin
His calculated course of sin?
With tawdry gifts of German tin,
Portraits, and watches.
How does the devil now appear
In the full flush of his career?
Burning and blasting far and near,
Murdering in batches!
His calculated course of sin?
With tawdry gifts of German tin,
Portraits, and watches.
How does the devil now appear
In the full flush of his career?
Burning and blasting far and near,
Murdering in batches!
How does he justify his course
Of selfish greed and brutal force
And cruelty without remorse
Before high Heaven?
It is by Prussian means to take
Earth's government from Heaven, and make
A better world for God's own sake
Than God has given!
Of selfish greed and brutal force
And cruelty without remorse
Before high Heaven?
It is by Prussian means to take
Earth's government from Heaven, and make
A better world for God's own sake
Than God has given!
