With shadows long and hills to climb,
And trudging home at close of day,
With thoughts alone and miles to go,
With light to fade, no time to play.
Approaching days when work is gone,
No ships to build nor steel to sell,
With children grown and leaving home.
Then all that's left are tales to tell.
Mackenzie Thorpe - Glossary of Imagery and Symbols:
Match-Stick Men: Life's Adversity:
A working class person or labourer depends on his arms and hands for his livelihood, but when factories shut down and these men without work, it's as if their arms and hands are rendered useless. They face the largest challenge of their life: adapt to the situation of be left behind, just another match-stick man.
