Tug a tore
John Clare Stokes
It's a painful thing
This pull to reclaim
The works of man
We hew the pew
From the oak
Sew the curtain
From the cotton
Then comes the briar
The branch
The worm
To reclaim its own
We held so long
The burning of the
Slow pulling rope
Stings
Taking men's things
Across the line
Winning every time.
