Text Appearing Before Image:
e,eager hands — O God, save the Kaiser till then! (18) God punish the butchers who dragged throughthe dust The mother who gave me my life!God torture the fiends in their tigerish lust That robbed me of children and wife!God visit the weight of thy terrible hand On the hosts that, dishonoring thee,Brought ruin and death to an innocent land — But, O God, save the Kaiser for me!

Long years Ive livedand done my work as best I could, with talentsfew; a couch beside the old gray kirk will seeminviting when Im through. But ere I passthrough Jordans chill, to roam in Edens grovesafar, Id like to see old Kaiser Bill adorned withfeathers and with tar. I do not understandthe men who hang to life when lifes a bore, whomust be called and called again, before theyllstart for tother shore. I do not understandthe dread with which men view a couch of clay;its far more pleasant to be dead than stickinground in peoples way. Ill gladly go when,loud and shrill, ring out grim Azraels com-mands; but first Id see old K
