SONG. MARJORY MILLER. ___ LOUDER than the trump of fame, Is the voice of Marjory Miller, Time the wildest beast can
tame, She’s eternally the same: Loud the Mill’s incessant clack, Loud the clink of Vulcan’s
hammer, Loud the deep-mouth’d cataract, But louder far her dinsome
clamour! Nought on earth can equal be, To the noise of Marjory. Calm succeeds the tempest’s
roar, Peace does follow war’s confusion, Dogs do bark and soon give
o'er, But she barks for evermore: Loud’s the sounding bleachfield horn, But her voice is ten times
louder! Red’s the sun on winter morn, But her face is ten times redder!
She delights in endless strife, Lord preserve’s from such a wife. |
