A SONG OF TOLL.

a SONG OF TOLL.
I take the little kiss she gives when l
60 forth at morn; M
! take the little farewell wish upon the
breezes borne;
l take the little arms caress and In the
morning light
Go out into the world of toll to battle for
the right.
Ring, anvals, with your elangor!
Burn, forges, fierce and far!
The night shall bring the world Of home,
Where love and goodness sre.
lean to little lips she lifts to my rough
lips Of love,
Tread ths mother-hope that shines In
eyes that CLEAN above;
l hear the roaring city call, unto it'll 20
Light hearted for the stress because q
child heart loves me 60.
Swing, hammers, with your chatter!
Whirl, wheels, and shaft and beaml
The light Of love shall guide me home
From out this shroud Of steaml
I take the task, face the toll, l deem 1t
sweet to be
Bound to the labor that is love for loves
fine liberty;
From morning unto eventide, remem-
bering her I 60,
Under the bending wheel that glides
forever to and fro.
Sing, mills, your clattering chorus,
Down where the millions sweat!
I bear my arms and give my strength
And Joy In what get!
I give and take, and give again, and
unto the dark am bent
Beneath the burden Of the task for which
sweet life is spent;
But, all the wage SO dear to have, the
little lips that wait,
The hearts that ring, the arms that cling,
when l unlatch the gate!
Clang with your mighty revel!
Roar, cities, with your strife!
And God be praised for strength 10 toll
For wage Of love and life! l9J.s
