about

Henry Stephens Salt (1851-1939) was an English socialist, naturalist, animal rights pioneer, and prolific writer. His martial text echoes the rhetoric of “The Men of Harlech.” Welsh partisans honor it as their national song. Beyond the borders of Wales, it is often categorized as a folksong. Charles H. Kerr had included the text of Salt’s piece in Socialist Songs (1900)
The music for this song was written for a Powell’s Books - ILWU Local 5 union workers benefit compilation. The lyrics were chosen from the Little Red Book of Songs collected by the I.W.W. This piece has a nice symbolic relationship to the political motivations of the original L’Acéphale group

lyrics

Hark! The Battle-Cry Is Ringing!
Lyrics by Henry Stephens Salt
Vocals: Set Sothis Nox La & Meriel Elster

Hark! The battle-cry is ringing!
Hope within our bosoms springing,
Bids us journey forward, singing —
Death to tyrants' might!
Tho' we wield not spear nor sabre,
We the sturdy sons of Labor,
Helping every man his neighbor,
Shirk not from the fight!
See our homes before us;
Wives and babes implore us;
So firm we stand in heart and hand,
And swell the dauntless.

Men of Labor, young or hoary,
Would ye win a name in story?
Strike for home, for life, for glory!
Justice, Freedom, Right!
