""Songs: For Labor and Leisure"" is a collection of poems and songs written by Clara Thwaites and published in 1885. The book is divided into two sections, one for songs about work and labor, and the other for songs about leisure and relaxation. The songs in the first section are written in a style that reflects the struggles and hardships of working-class people, while the songs in the second section are more lighthearted and celebratory. The book is a reflection of the social and economic conditions of the time, and provides insight into the lives and experiences of working-class people in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
