Explore "The Voice of Toil" by William Morris on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I heard men saying, Leave hope and praying, / All days shall be as all have been; / To-day and to-morrow bring fear and sorrow / The never-ending toil between.
When Earth was younger mid toil and hunger, / In hope we strove, and our hands were strong / Then great men led us, with words they fed us, / And bade us right the earthly wrong.
