“So let me sit and weep my fill,
Safe on the dismal banks of Kiel;
Weep for the babes who lie so still —
Only a Pirate's heart can feel.”
Then pity the Pirate, so old and gray,
As he sharpen his knife and tears fall fast,
He would cut your dear throat in a sort of a way
But his heart,—Oh, so tender, Is breaking at last.
Von Tirpitz
On the sinking of a hospital ship.
The Junker Pirates, having filled the sea with little lost children, torpedoed a hospital ship and sent down into the deep a score of Red Cross nurses to keep them company.
