76
But now alas, the heavens stretch
A canopy of cloud;
The landscape sadly vanishes
Beneath an ashen shroud.
The breath of glaciers rolling down
Upon the heaving tide
Incites the sullen [?] to
A wrath intensified
The Elder is a dancing fleat
Upon an ocean wide
No more the deck is people by
A photographing throng
No more the arctic deck is praised
Because it is so long
No more the graphophone recites
Its tantalizing song
No more the appetite applauds
The solo of the gong.
The flour sharp grimly turns his [?]
Upon the lower deck
The bird-fiend virus with wistful eye
The tempting arsenie.
The snoker spins a gruesome jam
Of hurricane and wreck
The fossil sharp feels "rocky" in
The region of his vest.
The bear-less hunter broods upon
His blood-extracting pest
And deems too frequenct reference
A more than doubtfull jest
Where Nature frowns a shadow dims
The color of our dream
The flow of life no longer runs
A clear unsullied dream
We almost wish we could believe
Things are not what they seem
