130 My Country and Other Verse.
TO UNION LABOR.
I WOULD not say one word unkindly meant To the vast toiling masses of all lands; So have I labored, numbered with the "hands;" And I am proud that so my youth was spent: My heart is with them in their just intent To seek the utmost that their weal demands, As I am with the weakest man who stands For fullest freedom to fulfill his bent.
Nor do I doubt it is the toilers' right To band together in their own defense.
Or with the money magnates to unit...e And do their best to bring the reign of sense.
When our industrial civil wars shall cease, And business know stability and peace.
But let not labor think to profit long By any union, either with their own Or those who once as enemies were known, Though such an union may seem more than strong, If labor reckon not v/ith right and wrong, Or scorn the public for themselves alone, Grasping their wages as some dog a bone.
And scouting wisdom as an idle song.
131 My Country and Other Verse.
None but the broadest brotherhood will live ; And selfishness, triumphant though it seem, Fails at the last, whatever be its scheme; They who would get must also learn to give : Nor any class, however great or small, Shall save themselves except by saving all.
