THE EAST AND THE WEST
In the East bondage and mimicry
Have spread the germs of pain and grief
In the West rule of chosen mobs
Is source of sorrows main and chief.
Neither the East is quite immune,
Nor West from germs is fully free
Wide-spread the blight of heart and glance,
A few can claim true joy and glee.
