The Bald.keaded Tyrant.

Oh the qnirtrst home on earth had |,
No thought of trouble, no hint of care
Lik" a dream of pleasure the days fled by,
And Peace had folded her pinions there.
But one day there joined in our household
band
a bald-headcd tyrant from No-man's land.
Oh the drspot came i'll the dead of night,
And inc one yentnrel to ask him why
Like slaves we trclnblcd before his might,
Our hearts stood still when we heard him
cry
For never Il soul could his power with
That bald HEADED tyrant from Nrman's
land.
He ordered us; here and he sent us there
Though never a word could his small lips
speak
With his tootIlcss gums and his vacant
stare,
And his helpneSs limbs, so frail and weak:
Fer h rules them all with relentless hand,
This bald-hcaded tyrant from No-man's
