The Shipwreck Emily Dickinson
GLEE! the great storm is over!
Four have recovered the land;
Forty gone down together
Into the boiling sand.
5
Ring, for the scant salvation!
Toll, for the bonnie souls, -
Neighbour and friend and bridegroom,
Spinning upon the shoals!
10
How they will tell the shipwreck
When winter shakes the door,
Till the children ask, “But the forty?
Did they come back no more?"
Then a silence suffuses the story,
And a softness the teller's eye;
And the children no further question,
And only the waves reply.

the author is showing that it is the insatisfaction of basic needs that brings about the protests such as the strikes.if workers do not earn enough to buy food and feed their families and themselves in order to continue working, what is the use of working? besides, another message from the author is that of the owners of factories should be worried about ensuring their furure by having a second and third generation of workers in their industries.if they do not hear the workers demands, they will not have any more workers to make their pockets full.
