Excerpt from Sandron Hall, or the Days of Queen Anne, Vol. 2 of 3
Canst thou recall some scene of bygone days,
When as a child, and seated 'midst the flow'rs,
The sweetest that the lap of earth displays,
Thou didst not fear the frown of future hours?
Or, like the lark, which singing, blissful flies
From the green fields to heaven's purer blue,
Thou - like that happy songster, sought the skies,
To dream of pleasures bright as they were new?
If in those moments some all-ruthless hand
In wrath had swept each solace from thy sight,
And seizing, left thee in a stranger land,
Where all was dreary as Egyptian night,
Would not thy heart have shrank beneath that blow,
As leaves recoil from winter's lips of snow?
After the incident related in the last chapter of the foregoing volume, it seemed as if Sandron plunged with renewed appetite into the vortex of dissipation.
