The Song of the Day-Labourers is another poem by Ernest Jones - see the posts above.

Sharpen the sickle; how full the ears!
Our children are crying for bread!
And the field has been watered with orphans' tears
And enriched with their fathers dead

Set to a striking tune, it can be found on Falling Slowly, the second album by Coope Boyes and Simpson, but under the title The Forward March.
