Not yours the victor’s meed of praise,
When Freedom leads her hosts to war,
For even in these evil days
Her fighters grow from more to more.

Note: I believe that “From More to More” was written by Michael Schwab, Haymarket defendant, but have been unable to verify this despite much searching. Several sources do acknowledge him as the author of the poem, “In Memory of Karl Marx,” for example:
