M'donald Clarke ("the Mad Poet") Quotes
(1 - 5 of 5)Ha! see where the wild-blazing Grog-Shop appears,
As the red waves of wretchedness swell,
How it burns more
Ha! see where the wild-blazing Grog-Shop appears,
As the red waves of wretchedness swell,
How it burns on the edge of tempestuous years
The horrible Light-House of Hell!
From the looks--not the lips, is the soul reflected.
From the looks--not the lips, is the soul reflected.
The sun had sunk and the summer skies
Were dotted with specks of light
That melted soon more
The sun had sunk and the summer skies
Were dotted with specks of light
That melted soon in the deep moon-rise
That flowed over Groton Height.
Whilst twilight's curtain spreading far
Was pinned with a single star.
Whilst twilight's curtain spreading far
Was pinned with a single star.
While twilight's curtain gathering far,
Is pinned with a single diamond star.
While twilight's curtain gathering far,
Is pinned with a single diamond star.
