The English, not the Saxon.

The poem was a part of "KILL THE HUN" attitude of the time (The Great War, AD 1917), and the use of "Saxon" would be awkward as connecting them to the so hated indeed continental G*rmans (including the Saxons of Saxony).

I was referencing a different poem, specifically referring to anglo-saxons.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

It's the very same poem, with the English being falsely changes to "Saxon".

It's a poem against the Saxons. Hate the Saxons, o Englishman.

Also the background:

You see, he hated the Saxon so much because the Saxon just killed his son.

In a speech at Southport in June 1915, he said: 'However the world pretends to divide itself, there are only two divisions in the World today - human beings and Germans.'

Also the real title is "The Beginnings".
