In poverty, hunger, and dirt, Sewing at once, with a double thread,
A Shroud as well as a Shirt.”
Written in 1843 in protest at working conditions in England. Turns out we didn’t eliminate the misery, we exported it.

Written in 1843 in protest at working conditions in England. Turns out we didn’t eliminate the misery, we exported it.
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
