As we come marching, marchingโ in the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchensโ a thousand mill-lofts gray
Are brightened by the beauty a sudden sun discloses
And the people hear us singingโ Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses
As we come marching, marchingโ we battle, too, for men
For they are in this struggle and together we can win
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes
Hearts can starve as well as bodies: Give us Breadโ but give us Roses
As we come marching, marching, a hundred million dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for Bread
Small art and love and beauty their grudging spirits knew
It's Bread we fight forโbut we fight for Roses, too
As we come marching, marching, we stand proud and tall
The rising of the women is the rising of us all
No more the drudge and idlerโten that toil where one reposes
But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses
Bread and Roses
