Rudyard Kiplings The White Mans Burden
Take up the White Man's burden-- Send
forth the best ye breed-- Go, bind your sons
to exile To serve your captives' need
To wait, in heavy harness, On
fluttered folk and wild-- Your new-caught
sullen peoples, Half devil and half
child. Take up the White Man's burden!
Have done with childish days-- The
lightly-proffered laurel, The easy
ungrudged praise Comes now, to search your
manhood Through all the thankless
years, Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers.
