WILLY TO JINNY, by JOSEPH SKIPSEY Poet's Biography

First Line: Duskier than the clouds that lie
Last Line: Coming from the colliree.
Subject(s): Coal Mines & Miners
Duskier than the clouds that lie
Between the coal-pit and the sky,
Lo, how Willy whistles by
Right cheery from the colliree.
Duskier might the laddie be
Save his coaxing coal-black e'e,
Nothing dark could Jinny see
Coming from the colliree.
