To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
MAJUBA DAY O Bobs, it was a dreary day until you came and spoke, The drizzle dripped so silent and the air it made us choke. For the wind had quit the city, and the rain it fell and fell. And the eloom was like the moments when a sexton tolls his bell.
MAJUBA DAY 65 But you spoke, light-footed captain, and the town began to smile, We could see the streets and 'buses all a-grinning for a mile ! And the club forgot the climate, and the clerk forgot his till. And they talked of little Roberts — an...d a distant stricken hill ; Of a hill where England sorrows, and has shed her mother tears, Through the weary, weary waiting of the bitter, bitter years, Of a hill where trembling statesmen dug our honour's shallow grave — Dried our blood with coward parchment and bowed down before a knave !
66 MAJUBA DAY You put heart into the squadrons when they stand in grim array — You gave heart to England's Empire when you kept Majuba Day ! And the cheer that gives you answer rolls its thunder from afar — From the muddy streets of London, from the heights of Kandahar, • • • • * His aching loss he put away with firm and patriot hand, Tearless the veteran turned from home to serve his Queen and land, And the love he bears for England steeled the hand and nerved the brain To the blow which broke rebellion, cleared our honour of its stain !
