HEARTS IN EXILE

By William Arthur Dunkerley

O Exiled Hearts — for you, for you —

Love still can find the way!

Hear the voices of the women on the road!

O Shadowed Lives — for you, for you —

Hope hath not lost her ray!

Hear the laughter of the children on the road!

O Gloomy Night — for you, for you —

Dawn tells of coming day!

Hear the clink of breaking fetters on the road!

O Might sans Right — for you, for you —

The feet of crumbling clay!

Hear the slow, sure tread of Freedom on the road!
