There’s a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming:
War in all men’s eyes shall be
A monster of iniquity,
In the good time coming.
G O
Nations shall not quarrel then,
To prove which is the stronger;
Nor slaughter men for glory’s sake; —
Wait a little longer.
There’s a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming:
Hateful rivalries of creed
Shall not make their martyrs bleed
In the good time coming.
Religion shall be shorn of pride,
And flourish all the stronger;
And Charity shall trim her lamp; —
Wait a little longer.
There’s a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming:
Little children shall not toil,
Uuder, or above, the soil,
In the good time coming;
But shall play in healthful fields
Till limbs and mind grow stronger;
And every one shall read and write;
Wait a little longer.
There’s a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming:
Let us aid it all we can,
Every woman, every man,
The good time coming.
Smallest helps, if rightly given,
Make the impulse stronger;
’Twill be strong enough one day; —
Wait a little longer.
Charles Mackay\
51. The garden (Dialogue 12th.)
A. What a delightful occupation gardening is!
B. It is, and also a most healthy one. I rise every
morning at six, and assist the gardener in digging potatoes
and celery.
