What ho! my lad3, the time is vine,

Nor slaves nor kings in ail car ranks
Shall evermore be found;
Elsewhere the knaves may play thvir pranks,
But this is holy ground
But this is ho'y ground, my friend-,
Where Freedom’s cause is won,
Where kings and priosfs shall make am.-.ids
For ail the wrong they've dent.-.
Incur Republic all shall share
due right to work and play;
The right to scoff at corking care.
And drive despair away —
Drive poverty away, my mates,
With struggle, strain and strife;
What use are Parliaments and States
Without a happy life?
- ooo—
Whoa hunger holds a harmless rod,
And all hands laugh for glee,
And none need fear a maiter’s nod,
And all are really free—
W hen all indeed are free, my hearts,
And our great Cause is von.
Oh, then, when Poverty departs,
Will all our work be done.
