Excerpt from Pictures in the Fire: And Other Thoughts; In Rhyme and Verse
The empty room we wander through Where oft the dance and song have been, Where from young hearts the light laugh flew In bursts, with merry jest between; The jest, the song, the laughter fled, And, Oh. We feel that never more, Now these young hearts are cold and dead, Shall come the glad joy-days of yore.
A maiden seated on the shore, There gazing o'er the broad deep wave, To watch for one she may no more Behold, or ever find his grave The exile, standing far apart, At close of day no songs can cheer Home scenes come crowding in his heart With sounds that fill no other ear.
