German Submarines Fire on Open Boats

LORD GOD made the earth and its wonders, The sea and the land. The rain of delight and the thunders Fall alike from His hand, To gladden His children,—and warn them Who will not understand. And the Lord God cried in His anger: “Who has poisoned My sea? Who has made it a desert of danger For My ships sailing free? I am God! and ye who have done it Shall account unto Me. “I have planted the wasteland of water For My folk to find food; And ye sow it with whirlwind and slaughter, Ye Devil’s dark brood. So now shall ye reap in full measure The harvest of blood.”
