Song For Equal Suffrage †

Day of hope and day of glory! After slavery and woe, Comes the dawn of woman’s freedom, and the light shall grow and grow Until every man and woman equal liberty shall know, In Freedom marching on!

Woman’s right is woman’s duty! For our share in life we call! Our will it is not weakened and our power it is not small. We are half of every nation! We are mothers of them all! In Wisdom marching on!

Not for self but larger service has our cry for freedom grown, There is crime, disease and warfare in a world of men alone, In the name of love we’re rising now to serve and save our own, As Peace comes marching on!

By every sweet and tender tie around our heartstrings curled, In the cause of nobler motherhood is woman’s flag unfurled, Till every child shall know the joy and peace of mother’s world-- As Love comes marching on!

We will help to make a pruning hook of every outgrown sword, We will help to knit the nations in continuing accord, In humanity made perfect is the glory of the Lord, As His world goes marching on!

ANOTHER STAR f

(Suffrage Campaign Song for California)

TUNE: “Buy a Broom.”

There are five a-light before us, In the flag flying o’er us, There’ll be six on next election-- We bring a new star! We are coming like the others, Free Sisters, Free Brothers, In the pride of our affection For California. CHORUS: A ballot for the Lady! For the Home and for the Baby! Come, vote ye for the Lady, The Baby, the Home!

Star of Hope and Star of Beauty! Of Freedom! Of Duty! Star of childhood’s new protection, That rises so high! We will work for it together In the golden, gay weather, And we’ll have it next election, Or we will know why. CHORUS: A ballot for the Lady! For the Home and for the Baby! Come, vote ye for the Lady, The Baby, the Home!
