Madras Congress

Tell me not in scornful numbers Congress is an 'empty' show 1 For though many a delegate slumbers Seats are 'full' in every row.

Congress is earnest ! Congress is real! Self-Government is its goal; Action said, a high ideal Is always good for the humen soul!

In the congress field of battle, In constitutional strife Indulge internal rattle, Never lift a chair for life.

Lives of Moderates all remind us       We should wisely keep from crime, Open sedition only finds us, Shelter in a far-off clime 2 !

Let us then lie up and speaking, Speaking at a furious rate: Not always some benefit seeking Learn to be loyal and to wait".
