Tаke up the White Mаn's burden - Send fоrth the best ye breed - Gо bind yоur sons to exile To serve your cаptives' need; To wait in heavy harness On fluttered folk and wild - Your new-caught sullen peoples, Half devil and half child ... Take up the White Man's burden - Have done with childish days - The lightly proffered laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise. Comes now, to search your manhood Through all the thankless years, Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgement of your peers. - Rudyard Kipling (1899) How did Kiping’s poem The White Man’s Burden reflect American foreign policy during the late nineteeth century?
