THE DAGONET RECITER AND READER: being Readings and Recitations in Prose and Verse, selected from his own Works by George R. Sims. THE CASE OF GEORGE CANDLEMAS. London: CHATTO & WINDUS, 214, Piccadilly, W. HE smoke in vaster volumes rolls, The fever fiend takes larger tolls, And sin a fiercer grip of souls, In London day by day. Still Buggins builds on swampy site, And Eiffel houses block the light, And make a town of dreadful night Of London day by day. In fashions long and busy street, The outcast foreign harlots meet, While Robert smiles upon his beat, In London day by day. Still modest maidens cheeks are stung With foulest words from wantons tongue, And oaths yelled out with leathern lung, In London day by day.{2} Wealth riots in a mad excess, While thousands, poor and penniless, Starve in the mighty wilderness, Of London day by day. Wrong proudly rears its wicked head, While Rights sad eyes with tears are red, And sluggard Justice lies abed, In London day by day. The liar triumphs, and the knave Rides buoyant on the rolling wave, And Liberty makes many a slave In London day by day. Yet Hope and Trust and Faith and Love, And Gods fair dowers from above, Still find a branch, like Noahs dove, In London day by day. And onward still, though slow the pace, Press pilgrims of our grand old race, Who seek the Right with firm-set face, And shed Truths light by Gods good grace Oer London day by day. {3} ......Buy Now (To Read More)
