God Neither Known Nor Loved By The World

Which shall be loudest in our Maker's praise!
In quest of some forlorn retreat I rove,
For all the world is blind, and wanders from his ways.

Nor my beloved as an idol show,
Since all alike my songs and praises be
To one, of one, still such, and ever so.

Mandalay

By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' eastward to the sea,

So thick the ground is spotted with their wings,
The air is tainted with the noisome breath
The wind from off the field of slaughter brings;

From springing bows to foam-deriding stern;
They have left her, and await her call “Return!”

Friendship

You can buy, if you've got money, all you need to drink and eat,

For the gentle hand of friendship that you need you cannot pay.

All is wellâ??in a prisonâ??to-night, and the warders are crying â??Allâ??s Well!â??

For what does it matter to me if to-morrow I go where I will?
Iâ??m as free as I ever shall beâ??there is naught in my life to fulfil.
