Poetry examples for “digs”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Wet through and shivering he kneels
And digs the slippery coals; like eels
They slide about. His force all spent,

So a pickax digs a long tooth with a short memory.

She digs in her garden
With a shovel and a spoon,

She digs in her garden
With a shovel and a spoon,

To be to more than one a bed—
And he that digs it, spies
A bracelet of bright hair about the bone,

And future millions lift his rising soul;
In blissful dreams he digs the golden mine,
And raptured sees the new-found ruby shine. 10
