Show Tliougiifs On the War (lly .1. ". Amcric.in Pork.) Heart rending la tho present war That's desolating Kuropo's shore. Equipped with nil tho iikvius to kill Within tho roach or human skill. Fierce submarines lurk undor water Tho ships or war or trado to shatter: Anil htigh drcadnnughts that carry guns, Wlloso thund'riug noise tlto hearing hear-ing stuns; -Throw mnny miles their mlusllos din-To din-To set some hostile train on fire; Or lay somo hnplut.8 city low Where nil wan woll an hour ago; Or land their shells ninong tho trendies Whero want the worn out soldier pinches; Whlla aircraft nrmed, llko vultures fl' , Tc rend onch other In the sky, Or dunton-llko dart to nnd fro To uwell tlto lido of human woo. No wonder thnt the world Is -.tired or this dlro wrr, by splto Inspired; Which brings upon both high nnd low A needless locd or want nnd woo, And nil bccniipo a Kingly- row Thought thoy could othor Kings subdue. Tlto wonder Is thnt men should statu) To light ror such a quarreling hand, And that they don't throw down their puns And niaieh homo to llmlr loving 1 nuofl, And lenvo tho Kings to fight nnd slny Kcch other In their chosen way, Till, tired or strife, they'd gladly yield, And leave the blood stained battlefield, battle-field, Resolved to uovej- moro return To war that makes tho nations mourn. |
