Excerpt from The Pensioner: A Poem And bursting through the riven cloud, The echoes rumbled long and loud The river now began to roar, And rear its crest above the shore, While o'er the rocks which would delay, Growling, it sped its sullen way., The farmer snug renewed the fire, And turned the wick a tri¿e higher And, as the tempest roaring sped, Soliloquized and shook his head God knows who' 3 on the road to night! Full many a storm myself hath seen, But since I did with Kate unite, As fierce a blast there hath not been. Come nearer, wife: ah, how it blows Happy the man who has a home, Tho' tempests war, he may repose Far otherwise with those who roam.
