St. James’s Gazette, March 22, 1886.
(Mr. Joseph Chamberlain had just resigned his seat in the Cabinet.)
——:o:——
I WOULD I WERE A CARELESS CHILD
I would I were a careless child,
Still dwelling in my Highland cave,
Or roaming through the dusky wild,
Or bounding o’er the dark blue wave;
The cumbrous pomp of Saxon pride
Accords not with the freeborn soul,
