Bread And Roses |
| As we go marching, marching |
| In the beauty of the day |
| A million darkened kitchens |
| A thousand mill lofts grey |
| 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 children |
| And we mother them again |
| Our lives shall not be sweetened |
| From birth until life closes |
| Hearts starve as well as bodies |
| Give us bread, but give us roses |
| As we go marching, marching |
| We bring the greater days |
| For the rising of the women |
| Means the rising of the race |
| No more the drudge and idler |
| Ten that toil where one reposes |
| But the sharing of life s glories |
| Bread and roses, bread and roses |
| Words by James Oppenheim (1912), music by John Denver |
