Berlin, Germany, Gave The School Children A Half Holiday To Celebrate The Sinking Of The Lusitania. War Declares A Holiday; Little Children, Run And Play. Ring-A-Rosy Round The Earth With The Garland Of Your Mirth. Shrill A Song Brim Full Of Glee Of A Great Ship Sunk At Sea. Tell With Pleasure And With Pride How A Hundred Children Died. Sing Of Orphan Babes, Whose Cries Beat Against Unanswering Skies; Let A Mother'S Mad Despair Lend Staccato To Your Air. Sing Of Babes Who Drowned Alone; Sing Of Headstones, Marked 'Unknown'; Sing Of Homes Made Desolate Where The Stricken Mourners Wait. Sing Of Battered Corpses Tossed By The Heedless Waves, And Lost. Run, Sweet Children, Sing And Play; War Declares A Holiday.
