Turkish Questions
Oh, Sultan, tell us quick, we pray
What was it Pasha Said?
And have they burned the vilayet?
So many tales we’ve read.
Who was it passed the Dardanelles?
And were they counterfeit?
And why was Kharput beaten so?
Was there much dust in it?
Oh, Ottoman, to do like you
Who Hassan eye to see
The woes your country has to hear—
Armenia heart must be!
And tell us, is the Bosphorus?
Or is it still for you?
Why is it that you every day
Mustafa head or two?
