Excerpt from Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, Vol. 9: January-June, 1848
On that stern image, stern, yet sweet withal Stooping decrepitude, old age's dower, Hath fled, and left the impress of high power But what or whence no mortal tongue may say, Save 'tis the seal of Heaven, though set in clay.
Bring the rude coffin, while the country poor Stand in mute grief about the hostel door.
True mourners they and Kitty, faithful soul, Gives each, for Molly's sake, a funeral dole; And, sighing at her heart, tends pigs and fowls, And bird and beast - and when the screeching owls Raise their wild night-cries, she, with shuddering speed, Binds bolt and bar, and sits her down to read, Lonely and sad, beside the hostel fire, Still anxious that the flames should kindle higher For every shadow wears a ghostly gloom.
