Indian Mutiny

by James McIntyre

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/james-mcintyre_poetry

British infants who were nobly born Were from their bleeding mother’s bosom torn, And with the bayonet dashed upon the street There left to lie for native dogs to eat.
But the British Lion he quick o’erthrew, Both the high and the low Hindu, Now they respect the Christian laws For fear of British Lion’s paws.
