Excerpt from Snarl of a Cynic: A Rhyme
That winter eve of falling snow I climbed the mountain's craggy slope, To visit there a man of woe, The world had somehow used him ill He had no money and no wife, No friend except a whisky swill, Oh bitter life!
A pale-faced, unsuccessful man, And of a sullen, cynic mood, Whose mind to much to reverie ran In solitude.
