THE DRUNKARD'S LAST MARKET - ZaunköniG - 30.12.2010 THE DRUNKARD'S LAST MARKET The taper wastes within yon window-pane, And the blind flutters, where his fever'd hand Has raised the sash, to cool his burning brain ; But he has pass'd away from house and land. Cheerly and proudly through the gusty dark The red cock crows ! the new-dropt lambkin tries His earliest voice in the home-field, while stark And stiff, on his own bed, the drunkard lies ; O'erdone by that steep ride, his weary horse Poises his batter'd feet and cannot feed ; From the near moorland hill, the brawling force Calls loudly—but the dead man takes no heed ; While Keeper howls his notice of alarm. And thrills with awe the dusky mountain farm. |
