22
The White Man's BurdenRudyard Kipling, McClure's
Magazine (Feb. 1899)
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.
23
The White Man's BurdenRudyard Kipling, McClure's
Magazine (Feb. 1899)
Take up the White Man's burden-- In patience to
abide, To veil the threat of terror And check
the show of pride By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain, To seek another's
profit And work another's gain.
24
The White Man's BurdenRudyard Kipling, McClure's
Magazine (Feb. 1899)
Take up the White Man's burden-- The savage
wars of peace-- Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease And when your goal
is nearest (The end for others sought) Watch
sloth and heathen folly Bring all your hope to
nought.
25
The White Man's BurdenRudyard Kipling, McClure's
Magazine (Feb. 1899)
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.
