Bread and Roses

歌詞

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 come marching, marching, we battle too for men For they are women's children, and we mother 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 song of 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 come marching, marching, we bring the greater days The rising of the women means the rising of the race No more the drudge and idler — ten that 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!
