if there had been no difference in the slope
and none had noticed on the lonely climb
no fresh republic would have built on hope
for boy and girl to dream they might elope
to a fresh place and start a kinder time
if there had been a difference in the slope
where they had fallen beyond reach of rope
observing all the changes in the grime
no fresh republic would have built on hope
that combination of hard work and soap
which challenges the past as one long crime
if there had been no difference in the slope
no reason for the wretched fool to grope
into those matters which had passed their prime
no fresh republic would have built on hope
for those who wished to find a way to cope
and rise perhaps towards the heart sublime
if there had been no difference in the slope
no fresh republic would have built on hope
