THE DISTURBED WASP; TO WILLIAM BEEBE by ANNE MILLAY BREMER

First Line: THEY BEAT IN RHYTHM ALL
Last Line: MAN! HAVE YOU NO HEART?
Subject(s): ANCESTORS & ANCESTRY; HERITAGE; HEREDITY;

THEY beat in rhythm all:
His numerous progenitors,
Since those diluvian ancestors,
Who sailed with Noah the skipper
(Without a bar sinister).
In rhythm universal:
Wasp father, children, wife.
Then in their unspoilt jungle life
You came, and did your part...
Man! have you no heart?
