Excerpt from The White Plague, and Other PoemsMalignant, repellent, appalling, Elate on his death-reared throne, He gloats, in his hideous palace, O'er the world he claims as his own, While, from the homes he has ravaged, Arise through the glimmering shades, Prayers for the dead and the dying, And the clank of burial spades.Sombre and grey are its turrets, Lowering and lichened its walls, Fetid and foul are the breezes That ¿oat through the charnel-strewn halls Of this nightmare seat of the Plague King, Ruling relentless as doom, With his ghastly courtiers around him, Gliding, ghoul-like, in the gloom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
