Excerpt from War Songs
Sons of Nippon, down with Russia Down with Russia! Lay her low.
The phantoms pass, and in their place, beneath the diamond brilliance Of a South African sun, lies the great square of Pretoria, its vacant pedestal still waiting for its statue. Before the Parliament-house a platform, and on it Anglicans, Presbyterians, Wesleyans, prais ing God in unison. Ten thousand victorious British soldiers stand around, rank by rank, and sing. A song of triumph or of vengeance' Not so. Listen to that.
