- By: Rudyard Kipling
- It was not part of their blood,
- It came to them very late,
- With long arrears to make good,
- When the Saxon began to hate.
- They were not easily moved,
- They were icy -- willing to wait
- Till every count should be proved,
- Ere the Saxon began to hate.
- Their voices were even and low.
- Their eyes were level and straight.
- There was neither sign nor show
- When the Saxon began to hate.
- It was not preached to the crowd.
- It was not taught by the state.
- No man spoke it aloud
- When the Saxon began to hate.
- It was not suddenly bred.
- It will not swiftly abate.
- Through the chilled years ahead,
- When Time shall count from the date
- That the Saxon began to hate.
