Pure Air

Throw open the window, and fasten it there,
Fling the curtain aside, and the blind,
And give a free entrance to heaven’s pure air;
Tis the life and the health of mankind.

Then be sure when you sleep that all air is shut out;
Place, too, a warm brick at your foot,
Put a bandago of flannel your neck quite about,
And cover your head with a shoot.

Then haste to the fresh open air,
Where your cheek may kindly be fanned by the breeze
‘Twill make you well, happy, and fair.

Then open the window, and fasten it there,
Fling the curtain aside and the blind,
And give free admission to heaven’s pure air;
‘Tis life, light, and joy to mankind.
 - British Workman 1 Jan 1855
