William Morris - Chants for socialists

CHANTS FOR SOCIALISTS. THE DAY IS COMING. COME hither lads, and hearken, for a tale there is to tell, Of the wonderful days a-coming when all shall be better than well. And the tale shall be told of a country, a land in the midst of the sea, And folk shall call it England in the days that are going to be. There more than one in a thousand in the days that are yet to come, Shall have some h,pe of the morrow, some joy of the ancient home. For then-laugh not, but listen, to this strange tale of min&- All folk that are in England shall be better lodged than swine. TGen a man shall work and bethink him, and rejojce in the deeds of his hand, Nor yet come home in the even too faint and weary to atand. Men in that time a-coming shall work and have no fear For to-morrow's lack of earning and the hunger-wolf anear. I tell you this for a wonder, that no man then shall be glad Of hia:fellow's fall and mishap to snatch at the work he had. ' Bib ioteca Gino Bianco •
