Songs for the People
by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper Let me make the songs for the people, Songs for the old and young,polo ralph lauren; Songs to stir like a battle-cry Wherever they are sung. Not for the clashing of sabres,franklin marshall, For carnage nor for strife; But songs to thrill the hearts of men With more abundant life. Let me make the songs for the weary, Amid life's fever and fret, Till hearts shall relax their tension,louboutin, And careworn brows forget. Let me sing for little children,louboutin ps cher, Before their footsteps stray, Sweet anthems of love and duty,casque beats, To float o'er life's highway. I would sing for the barren,ralph lauren pas cher, and aged,abercrombie and fitch, When shadows dim their sight; Of the bright and restful mansions,piumini moncler, Where there shall be no night. Our world, so worn and weary, Needs music, pure and strong,beats by dre, To hush the jangle and discords Of sorrow, pain,abercrombie, and erroneous. Music to soothe all its sorrow, Till war and crime shall cease; And the hearts of men grown tender Girdle the world with peace.
