To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet oft they sighed, and with a saddened gaze Would seek some vestige of the olden days.
Some relic slight that haply might restore.
By subtle spell, the cherished past once more.
All vain the search ! where'er their glance might range, On every object there was written — change !
Change, change ! — walk where they would with faltering pace They felt like strangers in their native place !
24 CENTENNIALS OF PORTLAND, One place there was — a sad yet pleasant spot — Whose features time had failed ...to wholly blot : The Old Grave Yard, wherein their kindred rest, Whose mould ere long would lie upon their breast ! And oft as swelled upon- the stilly air The knell of one released from earthly care, They mused upon the hour when the old Bell Should toll for them the not unwelcome knell !
VIII, 1875.
'\'\ ^^3^ HE good old times" — our fathers' W 'bB, toast — Ah ! who can tell us when they were ? The query ask of those who boast.
CENTENNIALS OF PORTLAND. 25 And each forsooth will prompt declare The halcyon years, above all blest, Were long before his day, alack !
