we are tired of toil for naught,
With but bare enough to live upon,
and never an hour for thought;
We want to feel the sunshine,
and we want to smell the flowers,

eight hours for what we will!
Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest,
eight hours for what we will!" - I.G. Blanchard, "Eight Hours, 1878
