Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Idyls and Songs
Alfred. At the grange, E'en at the clangin smithy, 'twas the talk, Clench'd with broa grins, and phrases of the field, And all, they said, for love. She slighted him (you must remember wlzo), tho' for her sake He left his uncle's country - the loved cry And well-known music of the neighbour pack, And sloped a raw keen ride o'er twilight moors, To meet her giddy beautyship, who oft Paraded it amidst the scarlet throng In distant Hazelden: where her merriest laugh Gush'd quick and free thro' misty morning air, That gemm'd her fiaunting feathers. Oft he met her, With sidelong looks that watch'd, in hopeless hope Of cordial recognition from the fair, Long known, long chased, long sigh'd for.
