An Argument for the Maintenance of Peace and Goodwill	A
with the Japanese People	B
	-
Glossary for the uninstructed and the hasty Jimmu Tenno	C
ancestor of all the Japanese Emperors Nikko Japan's	D
loveliest shrine Iyeyasu her greatest statesman Bushido	E
her code of knighthood The Forty seven Ronins her classic	F
heroes Nogi her latest hero Fuji her most beautiful	B
mountain	C
	-
	-
The minstrel speaks	G
Now do you know of Avalon	C
That sailors call Japan	C
She holds as rare a chivalry	H
As ever bled for man	C
King Arthur sleeps at Nikko hill	A
Where Iyeyasu lies	I
And there the broad Pendragon flag	J
In deathless splendor flies	I
	-
The jingo answers	K
Nay minstrel but the great ships come	L
From out the sunset sea	H
We cannot greet the souls they bring	M
With welcome high and free	H
How can the Nippon nondescripts	H
That weird and dreadful band	E
Be aught but what we find them here	N
The blasters of the land	E
	-
The minstrel replies	H
First race first men from anywhere	O
To face you eye to eye	P
For that do you curse Avalon	C
And raise a hue and cry	P
These toilers cannot kiss your hand	E
Or fawn with hearts bowed down	C
Be glad for them and Avalon	C
And Arthur's ghostly crown	C
	-
No doubt your guests with sage debate	E
In grave things gentlemen	C
Will let your trade and farms alone	C
And turn them back again	C
But why should brawling braggarts rise	H
With hasty words of shame	Q
To drive them back like dogs and swine	C
Who in due honor came	Q
	-
The jingo answers	H
We cannot give them honor sir	R
We give them scorn for scorn	C
And Rumor steals around the world	E
All white skinned men to warn	C
Against this sleek silk merchant here	N
And viler coolie man	C
And wrath within the courts of war	S
Brews on against Japan	C
	-
The minstrel replies	H
Must Avalon with hope forlorn	C
Her back against the wall	T
Have lived her brilliant life in vain	C
While ruder tribes take all	T
Must Arthur stand with Asian Celts	H
A ghost with spear and crown	C
Behind the great Pendragon flag	J
And be again cut down	C
	-
Tho Europe's self shall move against	E
High Jimmu Tenno's throne	C
The Forty seven Ronin Men	C
Will not be found alone	C
For Percival and Bedivere	S
And Nogi side by side	E
Will stand with mourning Merlin there	S
Tho all go down in pride	E
	-
But has the world the envious dream	U
Ah such things cannot be	H
To tear their fairy land like silk	V
And toss it in the sea	H
Must venom rob the future day	E
The ultimate world man	C
Of rare Bushido code of codes	H
The fair heart of Japan	C
	-
Go be the guest of Avalon	C
Believe me it lies there	S
Behind the mighty gray sea wall	T
Where heathen bend in prayer	S
Where peasants lift adoring eyes	H
To Fuji's crown of snow	C
King Arthur's knights will be your hosts	H
So cleanse your heart and go	C
	-
And you will find but gardens sweet	E
Prepared beyond the seas	H
And you will find but gentlefolk	C
Beneath the cherry trees	H
So walk you worthy of your Christ	E
Tho church bells do not sound	E
And weave the bands of brotherhood	E
On Jimmu Tenno's ground	E
