Mourn not the dead that in the cool earth :lie- Dust unto dust- The calm, sweet earth that mothers all who :die As all men must; Mourn not your captive comrades who must :dwell- Too strong to strive- Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, Buried alive; But rather mourn the apathetic throng- The cowed and the meek- Who see the world's great anguish and its :wrong And dare not speak!

Ralph Chaplin
When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, But the union makes us strong. CHORUS: Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong. Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite, Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For the union makes us strong. CHORUS. View quote
