About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893. Excerpt: ... A MISTAKE. A MISTAKE. HAT is what they call it when A Half-read words or blinded light Plunge a hundred hapless men Into death's eternal night--Soothe the wail and still the curse, And for fate allowance make, Willful negligence were worse--This was only a mistake.

DEATH'S MINSTREL. THY do I meditate and write On death, and scarce aught else at all? Perchance his hand is raised to smite And stifle me in dusty pall. I hear the shivering droop and lift That shudders in his sombre wings; I see him slow and solemn drift Above the beds of priests and kings. But me he spares! The monster grim Rejects not flattery, that is why; And while I seek to honor him, Whoe'er he summons, 'tis not I! THE CHOICE. THE CHOICE. /H, how sweet it is to think I am at my desk once more, --Silver holder, purple ink, Virgin pages, pens galore, Wait their pleasant task--to link Words to thoughts that upward soar. And the topics, --how they press, Claiming each to be my choi...
