     That the Red Cross is now a sacred sign;

     Tell them no more than that; it will be new;

     They have no need of ritual on the Rhine.

     Let presently a non-sectarian school,

     Where knowledge shall be taught to Teuton men

     That mumbo-jumbo is an out-worn rule,

     Be built at Heidelberg or Göttingen.

     There shall the Vandal sages come and go,

     And learn at last why Belgium felt chagrin,

     And pace the Prussian goose-step very slow,

     From class to class, with lots of halts between.

     They shall attain in time, but not as yet,

     To starrier heights that now the negroes win;

     Meanwhile your common goal is clearly set

     To wake the untouched blindness of Berlin.
