Nor moves his pen our heedless nation now, </br> Which, sworn to justice, stirred the people so. </br> In some far world his much-loved face must glow </br> With rapture still. This breeze once fanned his brow. </br> This is the peaceful Mecca all men know!

Don't we all, of long ago, </br> By the ruddy fireplace glow, </br> In the kitchen and the hall, </br> Those queer, cooflike pranks recall? Eery shadows were they then— </br> But to-night they come again; </br> Were we once more but sixteen, </br> Precious would be Halloween.
