Autobiographical Notes of the Life of William Bell Scott - Volume I 12+

🔖 A PREFATORY SONNET ROLAND AT THE FOOT OF THE SCAFFOLD GIVE me a pen, I shall not hold you long, But I have some few words that I mould say Before I mount, before I pass away, Following my friends all gone it is not wrong That I would write, nor any foolish song, But now I stand beside the shoreless sea, A word or two from out my heart may flee Not said before, that coining Death makes strong. How many have felt thus besides the brave, Fair Queen of womankind, the good Roland Lifes long years past, both joyous years and grave, The wish descends upon the untired hand To leave some self-drawn picture with some stave of speech for those left waiting on the strand.
