To the "cousin" in his lair.
This be our German battle cry, The motto on our sword: "God punish England, brother!--Yea! Punish her, O Lord!" By shell from sea, by bomb from air, Our greeting shall be sped, Making each English homestead A mansion of the dead. And even Grey will tremble As falls each iron word: "God punish England, brother!-- Yea! Punish her, O Lord!" This is the German greeting When men their fellows meet, The merchants in the market-place, The beggars in the street. A pledge of bitter enmity, Thus runs the winged word: "God punish England, brother!-- Yea! Punish her, O Lord!" "What German Lutheran pastors think of the gospel of hate that is at present being preached throughout the Fatherland may be judged from an article on the subject written for the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin, by Dr. Julius Schiller of Nürnberg, who describes himself as a royal Protestant pastor," says The Morning Post. |
