A voice cries, with sepulchral power—

“’Brellas to mend.”

Teddy May and other Poems,
by William Thomson, Glasgow, 1883.

Voices of Our Nights.
(Submitted to the American Poet, by Mr. Wrongfellow).

I heard the feline footsteps in the night

Pad through the Court and Hall!

I saw the sable wretch in the moon’s light

Climb Mrs. Coxe’s Wall!

I felt her (that I did! I’m sure I’m right!)
