·16 CIIAll'TS FOR SOCTALISTS_- DOWN AMONG THE DEAD .. '14EN: ---o--- COME, comrades, come, your glasses clink; Up with your hands a health to drink, The health of all that workers be, In every!land, on every sea, And he that will this health deny, Down among the dead men, down among the dead men, Down, down, down, down, Down among the dead men Jet him lie ! Well done! no\v drink another toast, And pledge the gath'ring of the host, The people armed in brnin and hand, To claim their rights in every land. And he that will, etc. There's liquor left ; come, let's be ki-nd, And drink the rich a better mind, That when we knock upon the door, They may be off and say no more. And he that will, etc. Now, comrades, let the glass blush red, Drink we ~he unforgotten dead That did their deeds and ,\ ent away, Before the bright sun brought the day, AI>d he that will, etc. The Day 1 Ah, friends, late g1ows the night; Drink to the glimmering spark of light, The herald of the joy to be, The battle torch of thee and me ! And he that will, etc. Take yet another cup in hand And drink in hope our little band; Drink strife in hope w\1ile lasteth breath, And brotherhood in life and death ; And he that will, etc. Bib 1oteca Gmo Bianco
