Wilson Kept Us Out!
By EDMUND VANCE COOKE
O, Germany is drenched in blood and England’s splotched with red.
And Austria's arithmetic can hardly count her dead.
And France is curbed and crippled and Belgium is worse.
And Russia is a graveyard, while Hungary’ s a hearse.
And all the Balkan bedlam is in riot or in rout.
And Mister Hughes is peevish, because Wilson kept us ou t!
Kept us out! Kept us out!
Yes, Mister Hughes is fretful and is much inclined to pout.
But here’s to Woodrow Wilson, to the man who kept us out.
The reign of Cain is in the world and glories in its might.
For men are passion's playthings when they seize the sword and smite.
Yes, teeth and claws are everywhere and every beast can bite,
But behold ! a Man arises who achieves the Higher Right.
0, any child can criticise and any fool may flout.
But the world rots in its trenches, and Wilson kept us out.
Kept us out! Kept us ou t!
Let us sing it with a salvo, let us say it with a shout;
Any man can raise a rumpus, but Woodrow kept us out.
Freedom flees from warring nations. Europe has become a cell.
Where they chain the very children, waiting for their coming knell.
Where they’ve bartered woman’s laughter for the shriek of shot and shell.
Where the very dews o f heaven are replaced by rains o f hell.
And if Mister Hughes regrets he’s in America, no doubt
They will welcome him in Europe, where no Wilson kept them out.
Kept them out! Kept them out !
I f heaven doesn’ t suit you and you'd rather stay without.
Go to—well, just go to Europe where no Wilson kept them out.
If Europe's dead arose and spoke their honest dead men’s views.
I f children maimed and women shamed should add their ghastly news.
If now they stood in flesh and blood with power to pick and choose.
How many of them, do you think, would side with Mister Hughes?
0, I can hear their ghostly cheer, can hear their piteous shout
Arise for Woodrow Wilson, for the man who kept us out.
Kept us ou t! Kept us o u t!
So I sing it with a salvo and I say it with a shout.
Glory be to Woodrow Wilson, to the man who kept us ou t!
