THE QUARRY MAN.
ny J. DRApsnAwE WALKER

by ]. DRADSHAwE WALKER.
The sun had seen him all day long,
With the sweat upon his brow;
Tearing, with sincw arm and strong.
Huge blocks from their beds below.
Little he knows, or seeks 10 ken,
Of all the great world beside;
Who WELD the sword, or who the pen,
Or il tyrants realms divide.
No need hath he of daintics rare,
Or Of costly pampering wines;
Ills lips arc kissed BY fragrant mir,
On the rude rock where he dimes.
That ruddy child besmcared DER
With black berries ripe, hath come,
With his frugal meal across the moor,
From lowly cottage home.
Again he seeks the ponderous rock,
And he strikes with giant might;
The work Of ages feels the shock,
And it rushcs into light.
His time is measur'd by the sun
Now he halls its western raw;
Another hard days toll is done,
And he whistles on his way.
CHEEKY along the long green lane,
To his straw thntch'd cot he goes:
He hears his chiidren's voice again,
And it's there his Joys rcpose!
