To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shall we clasp pale hands with Death?" Still hotter and sultrier grew the days.
And still the specter sate Unasked, unbidden, by our hearths; And at his cruel feet Dropped down our beautiful darlings — And we buried them from our sight; And the glorious bloom of those autumn days Hid not our woe and blight.
The rich man fell in his palace.
The poor man by his hearth; The giddy reveler in his halls In the gay saloons of mirth.
The priest sank down at the altar.
The bride by the marriage bed, And... scarce enough were left at their posts To carry out the dead.
MISCELLANEOUS POEMS. 135 And often in lonely outskirts, Where the poor their woes outbrave, Sank mothers with onty little ones To hollow their lonely grave.
All through the silent watches Of the night, there came and went The rumbling wheels of the death-carts, Like hungry ogres sent To sweep the halls of the stricken land; While we stood with haggard eyes Waiting for the burning lips to close.
And hush their agonies, 'Twas then than the silent cities 1 Their awesome sabbaths kept.
