Explore "The Miner" by Irving Sidney Dix on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Beyond the beams of brightening day / A lonely miner, moving slow / Along a darkly winding way, / Is daily seen to go, / Where shines no sun or cheerful ray / To make those gloomy caverns gay.
For there no glorious morning light / Is burning in a cloudless sky / And there no banners flaming bright, / Are lifted heaven-high, / But that lone miner, far from sight, / Treads boundless realms of boundless night.
