2. !t%e stars of heaven are looking kindly down,
On the grave of old John Brown.
4. John Brown’s kwpsack is strapped upon his back,
His soul is marching on.
3. he’s gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,
5. His pet lambs will meet him on the way
And they’ll go marching on.
His soul is marching
on.
6. We’ll hang Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree
As we go marching on.

Throws out its bold challenge to conquer the world ;
It honour unsullied,
While life holds its place,

Nor race, creed ,or colour

Hail! hail I comrades, o’er land and o’er sea,
A mighty band ,
By sea and land,
Resolved that mankind

Then, hey, for the Red Flag, the emblem of truth,
The hope of the ages, the ensign of youth,
All nations .shall own it,
All creeds shall combine
To raise it o’er Brotherhood’s

Haill haill hail to the good days to be,
When war shall cease,
And wealth’s

Ensure that the race shall be free.

Shall it die unheardThat sweet pleading

Arise, 0 England ,for the day is here I

On its bert back sits Idle,,ess

Your harvest

Comrades of danger, poverty, and scorn I

Hear a word,a’ word in season,
For the day is drawing
nigh
When the Cause: shall call upon us,
Some to live and some to die 1
Be that dies shall not die lonely,
Many a onu hath gone before;
He that lives shall bear no burden,
Heavier than the life they bore,
Nothing

story,
E’en but yesterday
they bled,
Youngest

Last of all the valiant

In the grave where tyrants
thrust them,
Lies their labour
and their pain;
But undying
from their sorrow
Springeth
up the hope again.
Mourn
not ,therefors,nor
lament it,
That the world
outlives
their life;
Voice and vision
yet they give us,
Making
strong our hands for strife.
Some had name and fame and honour,
Learned
they were,and
wise and strong;
Some were nameless, poor,unlettered,
Weak in all but grief
and wrong.
3.
Named and nameless
all live in us;
Ohe and all they lead us yet,
Every pain to count for ,nothing,
Every sorrow
to forget I
Hearken
how they cry,“0

Happy ye that ye were born
In the sad slow night’s
departing,
In the rising
of the morn.
Fair the crown

Well to die or well to live
Through

Peace to gain or peace to give.”
