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 hope of the morrow, some joy of the ancient home.
For then--laugh not, but listen to this strange tale of mine - All folk that are in England shall be better lodged than swine.
Then a man shall work and bethink him, and rejoice in the deeds of his hand,?Nor yet come home in the even too faint and weary to stand.
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 his fellow's fall and mishap to snatch at the work he had.
For that which the worker winneth shall then be his indeed, Nor shall half be reaped for nothing by him that sowed no seed.
O strange new wonderful justice! But for whom shall we gather the gain? For ourselves and for each of our fellows, and no hand shall labour in vain.
Then all Mine and all Thine shall be Ours, and no more shall any man crave?For riches that serve for nothing but to fetter a friend for a slave.
And what wealth then shall be left us when none shall gather gold To buy his friend in the market, and pinch and pine the sold?
