Workers ! Unite (1907)
Arise ! ye workers of the world ;Australia's sons appeal to thee.
Our blood-red flag is now unfurled,
To lead us on to victory. Too long in bondage we've been held;
Now is the time to break the chain--
A truer Brotherhood to weld,
And man receive his own again. No more must bitter, racial hate
Keep nations' workers far apart ;
Let friendship mark our future state--
Sincere and true In every heart. United, then, we'll stand or fall
In Liberty's most sacred cause ;
And one for each, and each for all--
Be holiest of Nature's laws. E. F. RUSSELL. Notes From the Victorian newspaper The Socialist 16 Mar 1907 p. 2.
