We fight the fraud that feeds desire on
    Lies, in a lust to enslave or kill,
The barren creed of blood and iron,
    Vampire of Europe's wasted will.

Endure, O Earth! and thou, awaken,
    Purged by this dreadful winnowing-fan,
O wronged, untameable, unshaken
    Soul of divinely suffering man!
