Musings of a Recluse (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 2016 M08 20 - 190 pages Excerpt from Musings of a Recluse One pretty prattler folds my arm, Another, climbs my trembling knee; And, gazing in their gentle eyes, I see the drops they weep for me! I try to take them in my arms, (dear obj ects of parental love!) In vain! I cannot clasp their charms, My stubborn joints refuse to move. I try to hug them to my heart, That each 'may be a nestler there But grief hath dried its fountains up, And, on the ruin, broods despair.
