Take up the White Man’s burden Send forth the best ye breed Go, bind your sons to exile To serve your captive’s 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’s burden In patience to abide To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain, To seek another’s profit And work another’s gain
