The YelloW-Crane Pagoda

Here by the banks of Yangtse Stream,
OF old Wang Tzu-chiao sailed away
A-craneback. into realms agleam
Beyond the blue of night and day,
Now from the Peaks of Heaven they say.
He sees the night-skies wandered Ger
Far under foot, by stars at play
Only, the Crane flies down no more
Lest you should think the tale dream,
Here stands the old pagoda grey
Watching the Yangtse flash and CLEAN,
Watching the green long rushes sway;
And there the white clouds drift away
Blue, silver river, clouds and shore
Just as in old Wang Tzu-chiao's day;
Only, the Crane flies down no more
Eastward-the drear, dark forests
Lost in the cold blue far away;
Out of the west, Ger Yangtse Stream.
Warm little bloom-breat breezes stray
With whisperings sad and dear and gay
From fowery fields they futtered Ger
This very morn or yesterday
Only, the Crane flies down

For Laotse's Heaven.-Oh longing sore,

Because We're Right

A1CCouSC w 10 1NiShG
You ask and wonder why we send
Our boys across hand to lend,
The Allies in this Hun-made fight;
To help and give with all our might
Because we're right.
The kaiser and his ruthless son,
Told the Huns when the war begun
America is too proud to fight"
Bnt they now know that we can smite-
Because we're right
In eighteen wars we've never failed,
Right and justice always prevailed,
And once again we'll not show fright;
Each one will give their little mite
Because we're right.
Our Uncle Sam took off his coat
And rushed across on the first boat,
He stopped in France one morning bright
And told our friends-we're here to fight
Because we're right.
Well save on food and coal and light
And watch the leaks however slight,
Our war dogs loose and he can bite;
He never sleeps by day or night
Because we're right.
The boys have started for Berlin,
They'll soon be there-we're bound to win,
Then we will shout with pure delight
AND welcome home our boys of might
Because we're right.
