Out of Asia the tribesmen came,
With speed of the wind, with sword and flame,
Never such conqueror, slayer of man,
Witness, oh, shades of Genghis Khan.
From a letter to Tevis Clyde Smith, July 30, 1923; titled with the first line in COLLECTED POETRY
Out of Asia the tribesmen came,
With speed of the wind, with sword and flame,
Never such conqueror, slayer of man,
Witness, oh, shades of Genghis Khan.
