HARK Young Democracy from sleep	A
Our careless sentries raps	B
A backwash from the Future s deep	A
Our Evil s foreland laps	B
	-
Unknown these Titans of our Night	C
Their New Creation make	D
Unseen they toil and love and fight	C
That glamoured Man may wake	D
	-
Knights errant of the human race	E
The Quixotes of to day	F
For man as man they claim a place	E
Prepare the tedious way	F
	-
They seek no dim eyed mob s applause	G
Deem base the titled name	H
And spurn for glory of their Cause	I
The tawdry nymphs of Fame	H
	-
No masks of ignorance or sin	J
Hide from them you or me	K
We re Man no colour shames our skin	J
No race or caste have we	K
	-
The prognathous Neanderthal	L
To them conceals the Bruce	M
They see Dan Aesop in the thrall	L
From swagmen Christ deduce	M
	-
Tho butt for lecher s ribaldry	K
And scarred by woman s scorn	N
In baby burdened girl they see	K
God motherhood forlorn	N
	-
With them to racial siredom glides	O
The savage we deprave	P
That eunuch brilliant Narses hides	O
A Spartacus that slave	P
	-
They Jesus find in manger waif	Q
In horse boys Shakespearehood	F
And earthquake Luthers nestling safe	Q
In German miner s brood	F
	-
The God that pulses everywhere	R
They know fills Satan s veins	S
No felon but they see Him there	R
Behind His mirror s stains	S
	-
Tis theirs Earth s charnel rooms to clear	T
And ruthless sweep away	F
The Lares and Penates dear	T
To man in his decay	F
	-
Their restless energy supplies	U
Munitions that will wreck	V
The keeps whence feudal enemies	W
Our free banditti check	V
	-
Their unrelenting wars they wage	X
These Furies of the Right	F
Where myriad Falsehood s legions rage	X
Artilleried by Might	F
	-
Where Fashion s stupid iron clamps	Y
Young Innovation s head	F
And Law the stalwart Present cramps	Y
In Past s Procrustes bed	F
	-
Where Pride of learning substance blood	F
Or prowess in the strife	Z
Exacts from teeming lowlihood	F
The lion s share of life	Z
	-
Where Gluttony would to the brutes	Y
Degrade his loose lipped gangs	Y
Where Tyranny his venom shoots	Y
From one or million fangs	Y
	-
Where Cruelty in Wisdom s mask	A2
Piths fame from writhing beasts	Y
Where blest is racial Murder s task	A2
By Christ s apostate priests	Y
	-
In Punic or in Persian fray	F
With Love s and Conscience foes	Y
Unadvertising Romans they	F
And Spartans free from pose	Y
	-
Abused as mad or traitors by	B2
The trolls they would eject	F
Cold shouldered by wan Apathy	K
Of motives mean suspect	F
	-
Outcast from social gaieties	Y
Denied life s lilied grace	Y
They mount their hidden Calvaries	Y
To save the human race	Y
	-
The bowers of Art a few may know	C2
A few wait highly placed	F
Most bear the hods of common woe	C2
And some you call disgraced	F
	-
But whether in the mob or school	D2
In church or poverty	K
They teach and live the Golden Rule	D2
Of Young Democracy	K
	-
That culture joy and goodliness	K
Be th equal right of all	L
That Greed no more shall those oppress	K
Who by the wayside fall	L
	-
That each shall share what all men sow	K
That colour caste s a lie	B2
That man is God however low	C2
Is man however high	B2
