A CHEER FOR THE WORKERS
Hurrah for tho men that work, Whatever may be their trade; Hurrah i'or the men who wield the pen, And they who use the spade. Who earn their daily bread By the sweat of an honest brow! Hurrah for the men who dig and delve, And they who reap and plough. Hurrah for the sturdy arms, Hurrah for the sturdy will, Hurrah for the workers' strength, Hurrah for the workers' skill. Hurrah for the men who strive, Hurrah for the men who save! Who sit not down to sigh, But struggle like the brave. Hurrah for the arm that guides the plough, And the hand that drives the quill! Hurrah for the noble workers, Hurrah for the young and old, The men of worth, all over the earthHurrah for the workers bold. Hurrah for the men that work, And tho trade that suits them best! Hurrah for the six days' labour, And the one of blessed rest! Hurrah for the open heart! Hurrah for the noble aim! Hurrah for a quiet home! Hurrah for an honest name! —J. Richardson.
