The Golden Lot
From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles
Social Commentaries
In the coal-pit, or the factory,
I toil by night and day.
And still to the music of labour
I lilt my heart-felt lay;
I lilt my heart-felt lay —
And the gloom of the deep, deep mine.
Or the din of the factory dieth away.
And a Golden Lot ii mine.
