After reading his 'Modern Painters'	A
YES you do well to mock us you	B
Who knew our bitter woe	C
To jeer the false deny the true	B
In us blind struggling low	C
While on your pleasant place aloft	D
With flowers and clouds and streams	A
At our black sweat and toil you scoffed	D
That marred your idle dreams	A
'Oh freedom what was that to us '	E
You'd shout down to us there	F
'Except the freedom foul vicious	A
From all of good and fair	F
'Obedience faith truth chivalry	G
To us were empty names '	E
The like to you might we reply	H
Whose noisy life proclaims	A
Presumption want of human love	I
Impatience filthy breath	J
The snob in soul who looks above	I
Trampling on what's beneath	K
When did you strive in nobler part	L
With love and gentleness	A
To help one soul to win one heart	L
To joy and hope and peace	A
Go to vain Prophet without faith	M
In God who maketh new	B
With hankerings for this putrid death	J
This flesh feast of the few	B
This social structure of red mud	N
This edifice of slime	O
Whose bricks are bones whose mortar's blood	N
Whose pinnacle is Crime	O
Go to for we who strain our power	P
For light and warmth and scope	Q
For wives' for children's happier hour	P
Can teach you faith and hope	Q
Hark to the shout of those who cleared	R
The Missionary Ridge	S
Look on those dead who never feared	R
The battle's bloody bridge	S
Watch the stern swarm at that last breach	T
March up that came not thence	A
And learn Democracy can teach	T
Divine obedience	A
Pass through that South at last brought low	C
Where loyal freemen live	U
And learn Democracy knows how	V
To utterly forgive	W
Come then and take this free given bread	X
Of us who've scarce enough	Y
Hush your proud lips bow down your head	X
And worship Human Love	I
