Living
Deserted in Our Utmost Need
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Deserted in our utmost need
Was Peel, and what poor fags succeed!
Lie dead, ye bees! come forth, ye drones!
Malmsburies, Maidstones, Pakingtons!
Hum in the sunshine while ye may,
Tomorrow comes a rainy day.
