Excerpt from Songs of Democracy: And on Other Themes She knows that the sleeper will wake, She knows that Her hour will come. With axe and the cord and the prison, With guns in the shuddering square, With these they shall quell thee, uprisen; They shall hale thee again by the hair. With wailing, with hands hard clenched, Thou shalt see thy sons laid low, With blood shall thy streets be drenched, Thy heart shall near break with its woe.
