Jessie Pope — The Blackest Lie

Big bully Belgium, Breathing blood and flame, Crafty as a serpent In a cunning game, Sent a note to England, Sent a note to France, 'Let us crush the Fatherland While we have the chance!' Poor little Germany, Gentle land of peace, Seeking the Millennium, When armaments shall cease ; Rather grieved than angry, Called her sons to fight, To protect their Fatherland, As was only right. Hurry with the whitewash, Pour it out in streams ! Blеach the ravaged country, Louvain, Antwerp, Rhеims ! Belgium concocted war, Thus deserves her fate ! That's the blackest Teuton lie Published up to date.
