Stitch, stitch, stitch, in poverty, hunger, and dirt!

Life for the textile workers in the 19th century, was hard, hard work. From "The song of the shirt" written by Thomas Hood, he tells how life back then was terrible, people pretty much worked so much they barley lived. It also mentions that they were constantly hungry and could not help but to think of death from time to time. Life back then was not so pretty.
