WE ONLY WANT THE EARTH

For labour long, with sighs and tears,To its oppressors knelt.But never yet, to aught save fears,Did the heart of tyrant melt.We need not kneel, our cause no dearthOf loyal soldiers’ needsAnd our victorious rallying cryShall be we want the earth!** WE ONLY WANT THE EARTH ** James Connolly 1907
