One evening so silent as I was out walking
I spied an old woman
sat down by a tree
And as I drew nigh her I could hear her soft talking
These wishes she
made for the child on her knee.
First I'll wish that in peace you may always be
living
Oh never to kill at a sergeant's command
For king or for country's no reason for
giving
Your life and your blood in some far away land
May you be your own master
let no man control you
Whether tyrant or government or factory or farm
No matter the wages
they'll pay to console you
To slavery's order n'er lift a strong arm
Good health be
your fortune no gift can excel it
But guard it from those who would take it away
In mills
mines and factories they'll force you to sell it
For industries profit most dearly you'll
pay
And the last of my hopes is for friendship and kindred
For the love of
companions is our greatest need
And though you may live to the age of 100
It's young
you'll remain while friendship succeeds
So now lads and lasses come lift up your
glasses
And drink a good health to our children so dear
To peace free from classes while
history passes
To friends and to loved ones a happy new year
