• Bread & Roses

As we go marching, marching
in the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens,
a thousand mill lofts gray,
Are touched with all the radiance
that a sudden sun discloses,
For the people hear us singing:
Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!

As we go marching, marching,
we battle too for men,
For they are women's brothers,
and we'll march with them again.
Our lives shall not be sweated
from birth until life closes;
Hearts starve as well as bodies:
Give us Bread, but give us Roses!

As we go marching, marching,
unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing
their ancient call for bread.
Small art and love and beauty
their drudging spirits knew,
Yes, it is bread we fight for --
but we fight for Roses, too!

As we go marching, marching,
we bring the greater days.
The rising of the women means
all humankind we raise.
No more the drudge and idler --
ten toil where one reposes,
But a sharing of life's glories:
Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!

Our lives shall not be sweated
from birth until life closes;
Hearts starve as well as bodies:
Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!
