The Mad Shepherd
THE GERMAN SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM
The Kaiser's our shepherd, we shall not rest.
He maketh us to desecrate green pastures; he forceth us to kill in still waters.
He claimeth our soul, he leadeth us in the paths of frightfulness for his name's sake.
Yea, though he plunge us into the valley of death, we must call him not evil, for he is our master, his rod and his staff they drive us.
Surely horror and evil shall follow us all the days of our life till we flee from his rule forever.
ALICE HEGAN RICE.
March 16, 1918.
