THE KAISER'S PRAYER.
Gott, dear Gott, attentions bleate, Your bardner, Vilhlem's here, And has a vord or two to say Indo your brivate ear. So turn away all udderß now Und listen well to me, For vat I say concerns me mucb, Meinaelf and Shermanee. You know, dear Gott, I was your iriendt, Unb from mein hour of birth 1 quietly let you rule the Heffen, Vile 1 ruled o'er tbe Earth Uneven I told mcin soldiers Of bygone battle-days, I gladly split the glory, Und gate you half the praise. lo efry way I tried to prove Mein heart to you was true, Und only claimed rrein honest share In great deeds vat we do. You couldn't haf a better friendl, In sky, or land, or sea, Dan Kaiser Vilbelm number two, De Lord of Shermanee. So vat I say, dear Gott, is dia Dat ve vould still be friendts, Und you should help to send my toes To meet deir bitter endts. If you, dear Gott, vil dis me do I'll nothing aek again, Und you and I will bardners be For evermore—Amen. —From Sydney "Sun."
