Japanese Poem and Anti-war Song, 1905. Lyr. Add: O MY BROTHER, YOU MUST NOT DIE Akiko Yosano, 1905 O my young brother, I cry for you Don't you understand, you must not die! You who were born the last of all Command a special store of parents' love Would parents place a blade in children's hands Teaching them to murder other men Teaching them to kill and then to die? Have you so learned and grown to twenty-four? O my brother, you must not die! Could it be the Emperor His Grace Exposeth not to jeopardy of war But urgeth men to spilling human blood And dying in the way of wild beasts, Calling such death the path to glory? If His Grace possesseth noble heart What must be the thoughts that linger there? www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive
