The Kaiser Went to Holland.
~ IIENRY EDWARD WARMER

The Kaiser went to Holland, and q frightened
was he,
For over his head there hung the edge OF tho
Allied Snickersnee.
And no broodcd the long, dark evenings, sat
, .F0uoieo very tate.
For he feared the edge Of the Snickersnee and
trcmbled at his Fate.

some days dragged by;
He had lived so free OF tho Sniokcrsnee that he
hated and feared 10 die!
And there in his House In Holland he massased
his aching head,
And started at night In terrible fright at pro-
cessons OF the Dead!
Days ran into weeks in Holland, and weeks
into months. and still
They had not come with the Snickersnee they
had not come to kill:
But still in his dreams the Kaiser ghosts
OF the things he'd done,
And he tossed away Till the break OF day and
welcomed another
And months into years went drifting. and years
into ages passed:
Time dragged for him his slender limb, that
for others went too fast.
And yet hung the fateful menace. and still he
held his breath
AS the shades passed by in the night time az
the men he'd done to death.
Come on!'' cried the Kaiser madly, come on
with your Snickersncc
For death is little thing to tho thing this fear
is doing to mel
And the palsied arm OF the Monarch swung
fearfuy at his side
While ever the host passed in review, OF the
heroes who had died!
The Kaiser went Holland and there he will
die, in the state
That comes to the end Of a prideful race the
death Of the Fallen Great;
And over his head to the finish the menace Shall
