Edgar Lee Masters - America In 1904
Work rating: Low

(Europe Conquers America.) 

Strong for the strong and in his own conceit; 
Half-boy, half-madman, playing with the fire; 
Usurper, hoodlum, wed to his desire; 
Loud in the hunt--afraid albeit to beat 
The wolves which reared him--always with swift feet, 
Booted and spurred to huddle in the mire 
The malcontents, though Freedom die--no higher 
Launching his truncheon; only to the street 
Thundering at millionaires; unlearned, though read, 
In human agony--surrendered up 
To glory, war--of empty pomp the chief-- 
Europa, thou hast conquered! with bowed head 
For Freedom slain (who prayed might pass the cup) 
We pray, in faith, thy triumph may be brief!
