The Worker’s Request
Unfurl our country’s greatest symbol of sanctuary and calm And let the flag be lifted By strong and callused palm.
Let her mourn us the workers
Whose labours brought them death
For the wind brings our visit and we rise to salute her yet.
Send forth your heart’s greatest tributes.
For us who have crossed that final gate
Then recollect that the smiles which overcame the impossible task
Were smiles made of faith
Forever remember too that the workers sing the nations purest song
And when you gather to honour them
Unfurl our country’s greatest symbol
Of sanctuary and calm
written by Albert Dumont
