My Plea
A number of 1(1111105 were singing songs
And. having a wonderful time;
On board a boat that was Canada-bounii,
Hound for another clime.
The night, we're toll, was clear a.11t1 bright.
And they were it happy -throng
As they played. at games and sang their songs.
Till that German sub came along.
The subcreptup like a thief in the night
And no word of warning give she;
And she sank that ship that was Canada -bound,
- Spilling hundreds of kids•in the sea. -
Then the sub withdrew, sank out of sight.
Leaving never a trace nor track;
But. she knew 'ere committing that hellish teed
That ship coulee not light back.
The singing it stopped, the music was stilled,
As swiftly the ship settled down;
There was no sign of panic, no kiddie cried out
- Yet over two hundred slid drown.
I suppose when the captain and crew of the sub
Returns to Herr Hitler, the boss,
He'll have these paraded, shake each by the hand,
And.on each pin an old Iron Cross.
I'ui sure every sailor who sailed on that sub
Must be proud of the courage they lack.
In not sinking a boat that could put up a fight,
• But one that couldn't light back.
And I hope every one of theta wearing that cross.
Will find -it as heavy as lead,
And the ashes of the kiddies who dr'ow'ned that night
He as mountains upon their head.
So. God in Heaven, Who judgest all.
Who saw those kiddies crown,
Witt Thou, 0 God. hear this, my plea:•
"May each w, 'e hc'utl lvtrtil' a (l'ltw-u:
:and may we, 0 (toil, be given the strength
And all else that we need,
To make all of diose who commit such crimes
Pay for each hellish deed. ..
