The Kaiser Prayed.

The little birds Wcrer flying north
And on Cathedral spires
They STAYED their homing night awhile
To hear a Kings desires.
The birds that sing the love of God
At dusk and break of day
Folded their little wings and stood
To hear the Kaiser pray.
Now, God, send fear to children,
let none be Comforted,
And give my great guns power
To scatter DEATH, he said
Forget the promises you made
To those who weep or are afraid"
The swallow said: my wings are

l come from sun-warm palace walls
Across blue seas. The way is long
And l have stopped and heard men
pray
BY vayside shrines and in great halls,
In house and hovel by the way;
Eut ! have not hear anywhere
"A prayer that was like this mans
prayer"
The Sparrow said mo sparrow falls
Without Gods pity! Does he know
This man who prays-on whom he
Calls?"
The King Of Prussia stood below
In the Cathedral nave and said:
Nov let their harvest be their dead.
Let gas and shell go tear and kill,
Until the world bends to my will"
The birds on the Cathedral spires
Waited to see the prayer go by.
(The little birds see your prayers.

Pale lilies on the marble grew
Carved saints were on the walls,
and through
The flower windows shone the sun.
The sparrow said: His prayer is
done!'
The swallow said: ''Where did it go?
1t is a strange prayer, flying 1oW!"
They rose and searched the larkspur

They asked the clouds that drifted
