Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Success to Colonel Baden-Powell and his praises loudly sing, For being so brave in relieving Mafeking, With his gallant little band of eight hundred men, They made the Boers fly from Mafeking like sheep escaping from a pen. 'Twas in the year of 1900 and on the 18th of May, That Colonel Baden-Powell beat the Boers without dismay, And made them fly from Mafeking without delay, Which will be handed down to posterity for many a day. Colonel Baden-Powell is a very brave man, And to deny it, I venture to say, few men can; He is a noble hero be it said, For at the siege of Mafeking he never was afraid. And during the siege Colonel Baden was cheerful and gay, While the starving population were living on brawn each day; And alas! the sufferings of the women and children were great, But they all submitted patiently to their fate. For seven months besieged they fought the Boers without dismay, Until at last the Boers were glad to run away; Because Baden-Powell's gallant band put them to flight By cannon shot and volleys of musketry to the left and right. Then long live Baden-Powell and his brave little band, For during the siege of Mafeking they made a bold stand Against yelling thousands of Boers who were thirsting for their blood, But as firm as a rock against them they fearlessly stood. Oh! think of them living on brawn extracted from horse hides, While the inhuman Boers their sufferings deride, Knowing that the women's hearts with grief were torn As they looked on their children's faces that looked sad and forlorn. For 217 days the Boers tried to obtain Mafeking's surrender, But their strategy was futile owing to its noble defender, Colonel Baden-Powell, that hero of renown, Who, by his masterly generalship, saved the town. Methinks I see him and his gallant band, Looking terror to the foe: Oh! The sight was really grand, As he cried, "Give it them, lads; let's do or die; And from Mafeking we'll soon make them fly, And we'll make them rue their rash undertaking The day they laid siege to the town of Mafeking." Long life and prosperity to Colonel Baden-Powell, For there's very few generals can him excel; And he is now the Hero of Mafeking, be it told, And his name should be engraved on medals of gold. I wish him and his gallant little band every success, For relieving the people of Mafeking while in distress; They made the Boers rue their rash undertaking The day they laid siege to the town of Mafeking. For during the defence of Mafeking From grief he kept the people's hearts from breaking, Because he sang to them and did recite Passages from Shakespeare which did their hearts delight.
