Sire, are you blind !?
Twenty miles East! There lies your ruin –
The Erased Headland!
Grinding it - Dredging it –
Shrieking after Profits –
Just rags strewn amongst the Night, Rotting from Arsenic to swab!
At perdition's door –
Confined behind iron pens
Of homes-in-sorrow's-den –
Only in Calvary's wast'ry's hell
Imprison'd by foe's rash cunning -
