L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

West Virginia Coal Miners

Homeward bound in the evenings, weary miners cross the ridge
Returning from the deep mines black as the coal they uncover
Not far from the grandeur of the New River National Gorge Bridge
Homeward bound in the evenings, weary miners cross the ridge
Generations of these men have considered it a privilege
To dig deep into the latest rich seams of coal they discover
Homeward bound in the evenings, weary miners cross the ridge
Returning from the deep mines black as the coal they uncover.
