An' when they have licked every bone,
Ochone, As smooth an' as bare as a hone,
Maglone, An' have empty'd the skull, That of nonsense was full, They'll say, " Come, boys, it's time to be gone,
Come on — He was mighty poor pickin' Maglone ! " |

I WISH THE DEVIL WAS DEAD
I
WISH the devil was dead, And buried down as far As from the centre of Godhead shines The last remotest star — A star so far away,
That only God can tell, That in its distant loneliness
His utmost creatures dwell — A world so far away,
That they who live out there, Believe themselves the only ones That ever lived anywhere. I wish the devil was dead !
I wish the devil was dead,
And all his works destroyed, Dashed plunging down the steeps of night,
Through bottomless boundless void — Horns and tail and all —
Fangs and claws and all — |
