It pictures the condition of child labor in or about 1855-60, a few could easily find a place among the | today written against child labor. | The story of the poem is that of tories and mines, and of their de- rest until they ‘long to die and they consider death life’s highest prize. They really believe that the grave is the only place where they can or sing as other children do, they are too weary, their feet are too} tired, their eyelids too heavy to see and enjoy even he brigthest flowers.
