Song Of The Dispossessed. "To Jesus."
"Be with us by day, by night, O lover, O friend; Hold before us thy light Unto the end! "See, all these children of ours Starved and ill-clad. Speak to thy heart's lily-flowers, And make them glad! "Our wives and daughters are here, Knowing wrong and shame's touch Bid them be of good cheer Who have loved much. "And we, we are robbed and oppressed, Even as thine were. Tell us of comfort and rest, Banish despair! "Be with us by day, by night, O lover, O friend; Hold before us thy light Unto the end!"
