Bread and Roses
Judy CollinsAs we come marching, marching, in the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill-lofts grayAre 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 come marching, marching, unnumbered women deadGo 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.
