Today Is Rebels Day. And Yet We Work

Lesbia Harford

Today is rebels' day. And yet we work-
All of us rebels, until day is done.
And when the stars come out we celebrate
A revolution that's not yet begun.
Today is rebels' day. And men in jail
Tread the old mill-round until day is done.
And when night falls they sit alone to brood
On revolution that's not yet begun.
Today is rebels' day. Let all of us
Take courage to fight on until we're done-
Fight though we may not live to see the hour
The Revolution's splendidly begun.
