who can tell the bitterness of tears Which ilow too late.
Here, in these lovely islands on the sea, Behold a people fond of industry.
Poetic, hardy, trained for liberty, — Who dares 'enslave?
Yea, hungry Russia, threat'ning all around ; Too easily the western money found, For vast designs to seize all Asia's ground, And streams and seas.
_ 4 — Thus Turkey, China and Afghanistan, Corea, Persia, India and Japan, And costly railways, — all disclosed the plan.
To rule the East.
It was so clear that... any child might read ; This monstrous, cynical, enormous greed ; Which only a whole continent might feed.
And satisfy !
To craven nations, this was " rule of fate : "- Full half a world, a twentieth-century State ; And, Russia, glorious, each move dictate.
From Slavic throne !
Divided Europe seemed almost supine ; The hosts of India gave but feeble sign ; A contest, — wounded China must decline.
A fateful scene.
— 5 — Must brutish cruelty thus rule the world?
Or, barbarism from its prey be hurled?
