Synopsis
Excerpt from The Complete Works of James Whitcomb Riley, Vol. 2: In Which the Poems, Including a Number Heretofore Unpublished, Are Arranged in the Order in Which They Were Written, Together With Photographs, Bibliographic Notes and a Life Sketch of the Author
Hen I do mock the blackness of the night With my despair - outweep the very dews And wash my wan cheeks stark of all delight, Denying every counsel of dear use In mine embittered state; with infinite Perversity, mine eyes drink in no sight Of pleasance that nor moon nor stars refuse In silver largess and gold twinklings bright I question me what mannered brain is mine That it doth trick me of the very food It panteth for - the very meat and wine That yet should pump my starved soul with good And comfortable plethora of ease, That I might drowse away such rhymes as these.
