THE GLORIOUS DAY

There's a golden era coming,
So the pacifsts all say.
Can't you hear the harps a.thrumming
As a welcome To the day
When therell be no chance for fric-
tiOn
That now takes us to the courts,
When we'll think OF war as fiction
And dismantle all our forts?
Can't you see the German Kaiser
Tamely turn the other cheek,
And imagine Teddy, wiser,
Known as Theodore the Meek?
Can't you see our Bill the Massive
Burning law books on the green,
And our Henry sitting passive
on a can of gasoleno?
When the blessed day that's nearing
lis by Time at last unrolled,
And we see. with thousands cheering,
Silver William spurning gold.
Therell be naught but watchful walt
With the patience 1t promotes,
And well all be proudly prating
or our skill in writing notes.
The millennium expecting,
AS II ever closer comes,
Can't you see the world rejecting
Call OF bugles and OF drums?
Can't you hear munitiOn makers
Praying soulfully for peace,
While pacific world'lovc takers
scorn protection OF police?
There's no need OF preparation
For that blessed coming day
That a strong imagination
Thus can picture on the way.
But, the facts now coldly summing,
Is IL wisdom To forget
That, although IL may be coming,
1t has not arrived as yet2
