Each
time I to the cellar go,
Coal
hod in hand, and stooping low,
I
cannot help but notice there,
With
aching heart and deep despair,
How
melts the coal pile, day by day,
And
summer heat so far away!
The
coal bin, once with comfort fraught,
Is
now a “has been”, filled with naught.
Dec.

A coal
scuttle, sometimes spelled coalscuttle and also called a hod, "coal bucket", or
"coal pail", is a bucket-like container for holding a
small, intermediate supply of coal convenient to an indoor coal-fired
stove or heater.
