GERMAN METHOD.
May 29, 1916.
Wha swell'd the German heid—till it grew thick
Wi' thochts o' Warld-Dominion? Tam Carlyle!
Wha cried up Fredrick an' the Proosian style
But him—the blind Apostle o' the Stick?

Wha cried up Fredrick an' the Proosian style
But him—the blind Apostle o' the Stick?
Nae doot we've met the mischief, i' the nick—
We micht hae miss'd it! But, wae's me the while!
Look at the price we're peyin' for the vile
Volcanic ootbursts o' his rhetoric!
We micht hae miss'd it! But, wae's me the while!
Look at the price we're peyin' for the vile
Volcanic ootbursts o' his rhetoric!
Yet lives there Ane, within our midst, a bauld Ane,
The last thrawn izzat o' the Sartor clan,
Still to the winds his German faith unfauldin';
But is't conviction that constrains the Man?
Or is't throu' cussedness he's aye up-hauldin'
The German Method an' the Proosian Plan?
The last thrawn izzat o' the Sartor clan,
Still to the winds his German faith unfauldin';
But is't conviction that constrains the Man?
Or is't throu' cussedness he's aye up-hauldin'
The German Method an' the Proosian Plan?
