“The White Man’s Burden”
Take up the White Man’sburden—
Send forth the best yebreed—
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.
Take up the White Man'sburden—
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times madeplain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
By Rudyard Kipling
