The Paper Cap: A Story of Love and Labor
“A king may wear a golden crown,
A Paper Cap is lighter;
And when the crown comes tumbling down
The Paper Cap sits tighter
THE WORKER’S FRIEND THIS STORY OF LABOR’S FORTY YEARS’ STRUGGLE FOR THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED
This is the Gospel of Labor,
Ring it, ye bells of the Kirk,
The Lord of Love came down from above
To live with the people who work.
Henry Van Dyke
