“ PAY.”
The Koyukuk Miner’s Lament.
Listen to the windlass
All the livelong day;
How the creakiug of its crank
Sings the song of “Pay.”
We who delve in thi* land
Simply have a lay;
Ours to do the digging—
The store takes all our “Pay.”
All the world’s a windlass
Turning day by day;
Labor gets the waste dirt—
The few take all the “Pay.”
