Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rum Fiend: And Other Poems The Rum Fiend. ´Twas a cold, rough night in the month of March - The clouds were scudding athwart the sky, And the sprites that dwell in the boughs of the larch Moaned, as the moaning winds swept by; And here and there through the stormy rack A star would gleam (like a sleepy eye Just glimpsing out ere the lid falls back), Then the rifts would close, and the mist drift by. It was past the time, by an hour or two, When ghosts walk forth - if the tales are true That pleased and tortured our childhood´s brain, As tales never please nor torture again, For, as older we grow - it is always thus - We lose our faith in the marvellous; And the more we know, the less we care For the spirits of earth or the spirits of air; Or for any spirits, unless we think They are something nice in the way of drink.
