“There is a Lying Spirit Abroad.”

The spirit of lying and lawless might

Flew out of the Czar’s dominions,

He neither swerved to the left nor right

But tore the air in his headlong flight

With the stroke of his blood-sprent pinions,

For far away in that woeful land

They toasted Warren and Balfour’s band,

And he hurried to offer a helping hand
