S.5 HOLIDAY WORK – LITERATURE
PAPER ONE (PROSE AND POETRY)
Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow it.
If we must die (type in bold)
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs
Making their mock at our accursed lot
If we must die, o let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honour us though dead!
O kinsmen! We must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like me we will face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
Claude McKay
