The Big Meeting

( The Durham Miners' Gala )

Let's not think of tomorrow,
Lest we disappointed be;
Our joys may turn to sorrow,
As we all may daily see.
Today we're strong and healthy,
But how soon there comes a change.
As we may see from the explosion
That has been at Trimdon Grange.

Men and boys left home that morning
For to earn their daily bread,
Little thought before the evening
They'd be numbered with the dead;
Let us think of Mrs Burnett,
Once had sons and now has none -
With the Trimdon Grange explosion,
Joseph, George and James are gone.

Trimdon Grange Explosion, Thomas Armstrong

Yes, I'm sure there's something viral hiding in the part of it I didn't download. But isn't it pretty?
