Ernest Charles Jones

1819–1869


Ernest Charles Jones (1819–1869) was an English poet, novelist and Chartist leader.

The poems here are taken from Alfred H. Miles (ed.), The Poets and the Poetry of the Century (London: Hutchinson, 1891–1897), vol. 4, from the Internet Archive scans of that edition. Spelling is that of the anthology; Miles's biographical essay and extracts from longer poems are omitted, and only poems that could be read cleanly from the scan are included.

  1. Song of the Factory Slave
  2. The Song of the Lower Classes
  3. What steals upon the midnight?
  4. Earth's Burdens
