The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

“Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,

“O take fast hold; let that light be thy guide
In this small course which birth draws out to death,”

Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair;
A messenger of Hope comes every night to me,
And offers for short life, eternal liberty.”
