      Riseth wrath�察�and hope�察�and wonder��
         And the host comes marching on。

Many a hundred years passed over have they laboured deaf and blind��
Never tidings reached their sorrow�察�never hope their toil might find。
Now at last they've heard and hear it�察�and the cry comes down the wind��
         And their feet are marching on。

O ye rich men hear and tremble� �for with words the sound is rife��
;Once for you and death we laboured�察�changed henceforward is the strife。
We are men�察�and we shall battle for the world of men and life��
         And our host is marching on。;

      Hark the rolling of the thunder��
      Lo the sun� �and lo thereunder
      Riseth wrath�察�and hope�察�and wonder��
         And the host comes marching on。

;Is it war�察�then�拭 �Will ye perish as the dry wood in the fire��
Is it peace�拭 �Then be ye of us�察�let your hope be our desire。
Come and live� �for life awaketh�察�and the world shall never tire��
         And hope is marching on。

;On we march then�察�we the workers�察�and the rumour that ye hear
Is the blended sound of battle and deliv'rance drawing near��
For the hope of every creature is the banner that we bear��
         And the world is marching on。;

      Hark the rolling of the thunder��
      Lo the sun� �and lo thereunder
      Riseth wrath�察�and hope�察�and wonder��
         And the host comes marching on。

Well done� �now drink another toast��

Take yet another cup in hand
And drink in hope our little band��
Drink strife in hope while lasteth breath��
And brotherhood in life and death��

A DEATH SONG



What cometh here from west to east awending��
And who are these�察�the marchers stern and slow��
We bear the message that the rich are sending
Aback to those who bade them wake and know。
Not one�察�not one�察�nor thousands must they slay��
But one and all if they would dusk the day。

We asked them for a life of toilsome earning��
They bade us bide their leisure for our bread��
We craved to speak to tell our woeful learning��
We come back speechless�察�bearing back our dead。
Not one�察�not one�察�nor thousands must they slay��
But one and all if they would dusk the day。

They will not learn�察�they have no ears to hearken。
They turn their faces from the eyes of fate��
Their gay´lit halls shut out the skies that darken。
But�察�lo� �this dead man knocking at the gate。
Not one�察�not one�察�nor thousands must they slay��
But one and all if they would dusk the day。

Here lies the sign that we shall break our prison��
Amidst the storm he won a prisoner's rest��
But in the cloudy dawn the sun arisen
Brings us our day of work to win the best。
Not one�察�not one�察�nor thousands must they slay��
But one and all if they would dusk the day。



MAY DAY ��1892��



THE WORKERS。

O Earth�察�once again cometh Spring to deliver
   Thy winter´worn heart�察�O thou friend of the Sun��
Fair blossom the meadows from river to river
   And the birds sing their triumph o'er winter undone。

O Earth�察�how a´toiling thou singest thy labour
   And upholdest the flower´crowned cup of thy bliss��
As when in the feast´tide drinks neighbour to neighbour
   And all words are gleeful�察�and nought is amiss。

But we�察�we�察�O Mother�察�through long generations��
   We have toiled and been fruitful�察�but never with thee
Might we raise up our bowed heads and cry to the nations
   To look on our beauty�察�and hearken our glee。

Unlovely of aspect�察�heart´sick and a´weary
   On the season's fair pageant all dim´eyed we gaze��
Of thy fairness we fashion a prison´house dreary
   And in sorrow wear over each day of our days。

THE EARTH。

O children�  �O toilers�察�what foemen beleaguer
   The House I have built you�察�the Home I have won��
Full great are my gifts�察�and my hands are all eager
   To fill every heart with the deeds I have done。

THE WORKERS。

The foemen are born of thy body�察�O Mother��
   In our shape are they shapen�察�their voice is the same��
And the thought of their hearts is as ours and no other��
   It is they of our own house that bring us to shame。

THE EARTH。

Are ye few�拭 �Are they many�拭 �What words have ye spoken
   To bid your own brethren remember the Earth��
What deeds have ye done that the bonds should be broken��
   And men dwell together in good´will and mirth��

THE WORKERS。

They are few�察�we are many�此 �and yet�察�O our Mother��
   Many years were we wordless and nought was our deed��
But now the word flitteth from brother to brother��
   We have furrowed the acres and scattered the seed。

THE EARTH。

Win on then unyielding�察�through fair and foul weather��
   And pass not a day that your deed shall avail。
And in hope every spring´tide come gather together
   That unto the Earth ye may tell all your tale。

Then this shall I promise�察�that I am abiding
   The day of your triumph�察�the ending of gloom��
And no wealth that ye will then my hand shall be hiding
   And the tears of the spring into roses shall bloom。



MAY DAY�察�1894



Clad is the year in all her best��
   The land is sweet and sheen��
Now Spring with Summer at her breast��
   Goes down the meadows green。

Here are we met to welcome in
   The young abounding year��
To praise what she would have us win
   Ere winter draweth near。

For surely all is not in vain��
   This gallant show she brings��
But seal of hope and sign of gain��
   Beareth this Spring of springs。

No longer now the seasons wear
   Dull�察�without any tale
Of how the chain the toilers bear
   Is growing thin and frail。

But hope of plenty and goodwill
   Flies forth from land to land��
Nor any now the voice can still
   That crieth on the hand。

A little while shall Spring come back
   And find the Ancient Home
Yet marred by foolish waste and lack��
   And most enthralled by some。

A little while�察�and then at last
   Shall the greetings of the year
Be blent with wonder of the past
   And all the griefs that were。

A little while�察�and they that meet
   The living year to praise��
Shall be to them as music sweet
   That grief of bye´gone days。

So be we merry to our best��
   Now the land is sweet and sheen��
And Spring with Summer at her breast
   Goes down the meadows green。




THE MESSAGE OF THE MARCH WIND ��1��



Fair now is the springtide�察�now earth lies beholding
   With the eyes of a lover the face of the sun��
Long lasteth the daylight�察�and hope is enfolding
   The green´growing acres with increase begun。

Now sweet�察�sweet it is through the land to be straying
   Mid the birds and the blossoms and the beasts of the field��
Love mingles with love�察�and no evil is weighing
   On thy heart or mine�察�where all sorrow is healed。

From township to township�察�o'er down and by tillage
   Far�察�far have we wandered and long was the day��
But now cometh eve at the end of the village��
   Where over the grey wall the church riseth grey。

There is wind in the twilight�察�in the white road before us
   The straw from the ox´yard is blowing about��
The moon's rim is rising�察�a star glitters o'er us��
   And the vane on the spire´top is swinging in doubt。

Down there dips the highway�察�toward the bridge crossing over
   The brook that runs on to the Thames and the sea。
Draw closer�察�my sweet�察�we are lover and lover��
   This eve art thou given to gladness and me。

Shall we be glad always�拭 �Come closer and hearken��
   Three fields further on�察�as they told me down there��
When the young moon has set�察�if the March sky should darken��
   We might see from the hill´top the great city's glare。

Hark�察�the wind in the elm´boughs�  �From London it bloweth��
   And telling of gold�察�and of hope and unrest��
Of power that helps not�察�of wisdom that knoweth��
   But teacheth not aught of the worst and the best。

Of the rich men it telleth�察�and strange is the story
   How they have�察�and they hanker�察�and grip far and wide��
And they live and they die�察�and the earth and its glory
   Has been but a burden they scarce might abide。

Hark� �the March wind again of a people is telling��
   Of the life that they live there�察�so haggard and grim��
That if we and our love amidst them had been dwelling
   My fondness had faltered�察�thy beauty grown dim。

This land we have loved in our love and our leisure
   For them hangs in heaven�察�high out of their reach��
The wide hills o'er the sea´plain for them have no pleasure��
   The grey homes of their fathers no story to teach。

The singers have sung and the builders have builded��
   The painters have fashioned their tales of delight��
For what and for whom hath the world's book been gilded��
