Blake
Fierce as the winter’s tempest
Cold as the smoth’ring snow
On grind the mills of Avarice
High rides the cruel-eyed foe….
Where is the hand of mercy
Where is the kindly face,
Where in this heedless slaughter
Find we the promised place?
Sweated, despised and hearthless,
Scorned ‘neath the banker’s boot,
We freeze by there frost-bound windows–
As the fondle their blood-bought loot–
Love never spared a sinner,
Hate never cured a saint,
Soon is the night of reckoning,
Then let no heart be faint,
Teach us to fly from shelter
Teach us to love the cold,
Life’s for the free and the fearless–
Death’s for the bought and sold!

Happy Sadie Hawkins Day! More later. Take care.
