count it up
split it up
huh?
what?
huh?
yuh

take up the white man’s burden–
send forth the best ye breed–
go, bind your sons to exile
to serve your captives’ 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

take up the white man’s burden–
the savage wars of peace–
fill full the mouth of famine
and bid the sickness cease;
and when your goal is nearest
(the end for others sought)
watch sloth and heathen folly
bring all your hope to nought

take up the white man’s burden–
no iron rule of kings
but toil of serf and sweeper–
the tale of common things
the ports ye shall not enter
the roads ye shall not tread
go, make them with your living
and mark them with your dead

take up the white man’s burden
and reap his old reward–
the blame of those ye better
the hate of those ye guard–
the cry of hosts ye humour
(ah, slowly!) toward the light:–
“why brought ye us from bondage
our loved egyptian night?”

take up the white man’s burden–
ye dare not stoop to less–
nor call too loud on freedom
to cloak your weariness
by all ye will or whisper
by all ye leave or do
the silent sullen peoples
shall weigh your god and you

take up the white man’s burden!
have done with childish days–
the lightly-proffered laurel
the easy ungrudged praise:
comes now, to search your manhood
through all the thankless years
cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom
the judgment of your peers
