"The Song of Factory Worker"

"oh, you may leave
But you will comeback.
You will miss
The whir, whir of the machinery,
The click of the tacker,
The happy laughter of the girls,

They sing,
And the tired-eyed ones,
Watching the clock.
The pieceworkers,
Sewing fast,
So fast till it make you dizzy

And you will come back,
You will see."
All this and more
You say tome,
Red brick building
With many windows.
