<h3> <SPAN name="freedom"></SPAN> TO FREEDOM </h3>
<p class="poem">
Out on the "lookout" in the wind and sleet,<br/>
Out in the woods of fir and spruce and pine,<br/>
Down in the hot slopes of the dripping mine<br/>
We dreamed of you and Oh, the dream was sweet!<br/>
And now you bless the felon food we eat<br/>
And make each iron cell a sacred shrine;<br/>
For when your love thrills in the blood like wine,<br/>
The very stones grow holy to our feet.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
We shall be faithful though we march with Death<br/>
And singing storm the barricades of Wrong,<br/>
For life is such a little thing to give.<br/>
We shall fight on as long as we have breath—<br/>
Love in our hearts and on our lips a song—<br/>
Without you it were better not to live!<br/></p>
