¶Liedtext

(an adapted version of Burns' poem) We will not blush for poverty, Or hang our heads, and all that; Though wealthy folks may pass us by, A man’s a man for all that; For all that and all that, Our toils obscure, and all that, Their rank is but the guinea’s stamp— A man’s a man for all that. The king may make a knight or lord, A marquis, duke, and all that, But honesty needs no reward, And kings can never buy that; For all that and all that, The pride of birth, and all that, Good sense and worth, o’er all the earth Are better things than all that. Then let us pray that come it may, As come it will for all that, When with the might shall be the right, And truth shall reign, and all that; For all that and all that. ’Tis coming still, for all that, When man with man, the wide world o’er, Shall brothers be, and all that.
