it has risen here; see it slowly breaking through the clouds.

and if you are only true you will be free.
-Mother Jones

She never gave up fighting
Until her breath was gone.

Mother Jones, Miners Angel .jpg

From the Appeal of December 16, 1905:

MOTHER JONES
-----

Here's to you, Mother, Mother Jones.
Foe of the sabre,
When Justice, reigning, Wrong dethrones,
Helped by Love's labor,
Among the comrades we extol
Thy name shall blazon on the scroll,
In memory of one great soul,
Dear, kindly neighbor.
