THE UNSPEAKABLE THING.

[For the Observer.]

Blind, deaf, and noseless one, Loathsome and hateful Hun, Maker and lover of the foulest lies, Who early did prepare Red murder in the air,, And hurl it from the desecrated skies. Who Avith polluted hand Let loose upon the land Murder and rape and maddest butchery; Who drowned the mother mild And i unprotesting child By groping horrors ambushed in the sea Who .left with studied .hate • The stricken to their fate, With pestilence to work your horrid will: Who loosed in God's good name Blown gas and liquid flame, Designed, with craft unspeakable, to kill. You who first drew the sword Must reckon with the Lord. Ho; Fiend's ally! how fares it with your plan? Damnation take you whole! God's curse upon your soul! Moloch, mad-eyed, who masquerades as man! _>. M. Ross. Hamilton, September 17th, 1916.
