Religion
The Singer
From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles
Religion
What tho', in bleak Northumbria's mines.
His better part of life hath flown,
A planet's shone on him, and shines,
To fortune's darlings seldom known.
And while his outer lot is grim.
His soul, with light and rapture fraught.
Oft will a carol trill, or hymn
In deeper tones the deeper thought.
