As siltmj; in my efty chair, D'L-p in tbuu)-ht, with vacant stare, 1 wonder how tho people fare, And wliat their wttnis may be. Thuttncy do growl, 1 know ie true; Hut tiiat, you'll say, is nothing new, Tim', they phould know bt;3t what to do Thai's what 1 want to see. I want to fee all mon hare work. And when they bave'it nit to chirk, No "Communism" 'nioriat Ihom lurt, But hontat, f.ir and free; That all in this our fsvori-d land ShoirtI know by hetrt ai d understand To help each o'.her, hand in hand That's what I want to ae". I want to Beo the poor have bread, And foul opprestiou never dread ! By kindness and good counsel lud Be done as unto me. I want to see laws that are made, Strictly and honestly obeyed; Do whnt is right, bo ne' or afraid That's what I want to see. I want to eco our chosen men, Who fight with tonsueas woll as peD, Wear honor's brightest diadem In all its puriiy; No trucklinc to a knavieli ring, And counting what their votea will 1 bring. Nor eeoking patronago's wing That's what 1 want to see. Lot's see in nrta.! well as trade A covnpnlition fair bo tuuiic, And jenlouBy down low bo laid, With all its misery; No soap bubbles smooth and fair; No building castles in the air; , But all tilings done upon the square That's vi hit I want to sec. I Let tho fair ones have their rights Bless tho ml each my heart delights; Dressed as bloomers or in tights, It's all the sarao to mo. Then join each other ha irt and hand I May peace and plenty bleps our land Jjy tho "Star iSp&nglod Banner" stand! I That's what 1 want to see. |
