THE NEW ERA

It is coming! it is coming! The day is just a-dawning

When man shall be to fellow-man a helper and a brother;

When the mansion, with its gilded hall, its tower and arch and awning,

Shall be to hovel desolate a kind and foster-mother.

When the men who work for wages shall not toil from morn till even,

With no vision of the sunlight, nor flowers, nor birds a-singing;
