Pennarby Mine by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle — Read

Pennarby shaft is dark and steep, / Eight foot wide, eight hundred deep. / Stout the bucket and tough the cord, / Strong as the arm of Winchman Ford. / ‘Never look down! / Stick to the line! ' / That was the saying at Pennarby mine.

A stranger came to Pennarby shaft. / Lord, to see how the miners laughed! / White in the collar and stiff in the hat, / With his patent boots and his silk cravat, / Picking his way, / Dainty and fine, / Stepping on tiptoe to Pennarby mine.
