Kaiser Wilhelm II, Mohammed V, King Ferdinand of Bulgaria & Kaiser Franz Joseph of Austria in wreathed frames with bunting in the colors of their flags, national shield, Germania with her sword and shield, and a poem celebrating the association of the Central Powers and railing against England. |
Ein Vierverband, doch nicht von Englands Gnaden,
Kein heimlich Machwerk brit'scher Wühlerei;
Ein freier Bund von Waffenkameraden
Zu brechen Englands Völkertyrannei.
A League of Four, but not of England's Graces,
No secret patchwork of British agitation;
But a free federation of comrades in arms
To break England's international tyranny.
