The Whole Crowd

Reward us, Freedom!

The Choir

Workmen and Workwomen!
I do not affirm that what you see beyond is futile ...
I do not say leading you, thought great are not great ...
But I say that none lead to greater than these lead to.

The Whole Crowd

Reward us, Freedom!

[With one accord the whole crowd turns and lifts its hands to Freedom. A sudden hush comes and the light on the crowd begins to pale.]

Four Voices

We found our own, O my Soul, in the calm and cool of the daybreak.
