Take up the White Man’s burden— The savage ways 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. Take up the White Man’s burden— No iron rule of kings, But toil of serf and sweeper— The tale of common things.
