Excerpt from A Son of Austerity
"My peace is gone
And my heart is sore,
I have lost him, and lost him
For evermore."
"The place where he is not
To me is the tomb,
The world is sadness
And sorrow and gloom."
The reader's voice was a penetrating baritone, sympathetic enough, though somewhat scantily modulated. He lay at full length on a truss of straw, with a paper-backed duodecimo between his elbows, while the afternoon sunshine picked him out of the dusk from an adjacent loophole. The ponderous murmur of uncouth machinery dwelt upon the air throwing into acoustic relief the words of Marguerite's lament -
"My peace is gone
And my heart is sore,
For lost is my love
For evermore."
