This is an excerpt from a british poem called “the white man’s burden.”

take up the white man's burden-- send forth the best ye breed-- go bind your sons to exile to serve your captives' need; to wait in heavy harness, on fluttered folk and wild-- your new-caught, sullen peoples, half-devil and half-child. –rudyard kipling, the white man’s burden
