HEARTS IN EXILE

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!
