THE SINGER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: What tho', in bleak northumbria's mines
Last Line: In deeper tones the deeper thought.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers


What tho', in bleak Northumbria's mines
His better part of life hath flown,
A planet's shone on him, and shines,
To Fortune's darlings seldom known;

And while his outer lot is grim,
His soul, with light and rapture fraught,
Oft will a carol trill, or hymn
In deeper tones the deeper thought.
