The dove of peace desired to Wild
A nest both stout and strong,
And every nation sent her twigs
To help the work along,
And German linden, English oak,
As tough as seasoned leather.
French chestnut, and the Russian fir
Were woven all together.
With folded wings in calm content
She brooded on the nest,
And felt life Stirring in the egg
Beneath her downy breast
Then bang l—the shell blow up and
freed
Its dark and dreadful culture.
The frightened dove discovered she,
Alas, had hatched a vulture.

A tax to buy policemen a toga,
And town rate taxes.
