poem:
Where syrt sucks jargling javels mad,
And carcants cast Turing light
From widowed screes and mounts that scyle
Yelled auguries of battling hell.
charnei shard assails the damned
Thro vapours green with sizzling night;
Monastc caverns rasp each isle;
A poisoned skink croaks from we'll.
And mournful wraits sob hard and loud,
smothered sigh proclaims more woe,
The longing imps grasp tones of old
And rant therefrom each damned ones name.
And, horrors. snaring at each crowd
Assai each kingdom with its show;
noctivagous dragon bold
Hastes through the isles Of death and sham,
And haunts the cajons of the dead.

Before a ghoul kings jeweed throne;
There, too, upon temples arch,
Bvouacs witch who scans the bed
OF buried kings and queens struck cold
And lifts her voice to splntered dome
To stem the brooding Djinnee march,
And with the dusk that meteors split
She tries the figgum of her lust

prophetic of much better work with pleas

of character and nature description, and
above all a note of healthful optimism ana
