Eugene Pottier
From Anarchopedia
Eugene Pottier (1816 October 4 (Paris, France) — 1887) was a poet, revolutionist, participant in the Revolution of 1848, Paris Commune of 1881. It was then he wrote the Internationale (anarchistic at its core). It was put to music by Pierre de Geyter [Degeyter] in 1888, bringing him broad recognition as it is adopted by workers worldwide.
"The Internationale"
Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers,
Arise ye prisoners of want,
For reason in revolt know thunders,
And at last ends the age of cant.
So away with all your superstitions
Servile masses, arise, arise,
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.
