The Kaiser.
{For the New Zealand Free Lanec.) Kaiser, Kaiser, sitting tight, What wild thoughts were yours that night When from Berlin's) wrath you stole, Looking for a "better 'ole" ? In what lands or 'neath what skies Found you credit for your lies ? o what heights must he aspire Who'd outsoar you as a liar? What the horror that could start Pity in your stony heart? When, befo:se you knew defeat, Did your heart with anguish beat? , When your Taubes threw down their spears Wer*e you moved to saurian tears? Did yon grieve your works to see ? Did you care a damn, Billie? What the blazes, did you gain Wantonly inflicting pain? What the devdl?—-that's too strong For the diction of a song. Kaiser, Kaiser, in your fright To the border that dark night, What mere mortal can portray Your deadly funk upon the way? —Robert J. Pope, Wellington.
