A soft "Perchance it is not yet too late!"
Ode to Captain Paery

Yet struck its foot against the peg
On which the world is spun?
Or hast thou found No Thoroughfare

With short unsteady stepsto pause and ponder--
To feel the blood run through the veins and tingle
Where busy thought and blind sensation mingle;

Onward their slow and stately course they bend
To where the Alhambra's ancient towers ascend,

When that most precious missive, that love laden letter,
Flutter'd down thro' the gap in the wall.
