🔹 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! (1) 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! (2) 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 hopes to noug! (3) [The White Man's Burden, a poem by Rudyard Kipling, first to third stanzas, Vermont, United States of America, 1899] 🇬🇧 #quote 🔸🔸 @philosophic_books @homerbooks @homerquotes
