A SONG OF DEMOCRACY
It isn't just because some ships were lost,
And children drowned, and women, and strong men.
That's bad enough, God knows!
But the Prussians were our foes
Long before their cruel wolf-pack left its den.
It isn't just because their hunting pack
Tore at Belgium's throat to reach the throat of France.
No, by Heaven! It's because
They are traitors to all laws
Made by God to curb the Devil's arrogance.
They are traitors to humanity, no less!
They acknowledge nothing nobler than their will
