A SONG. When the winter wind whistles along the wild moor, And the cottager shuts on the beggar his door ; When the chilling tear stands in my comfortless eye, Oh, how hard is the lot of the Wandering Boy ! 190 KIRKE WHITE'S POETICAL WORKS. 2 The winter is cold, arid I have no vest, And mj heart it is cold as it beats in my breast ; No father, no mother, no kindred have I, For I am a parentless Wandering Boy. 3 Yet I had a home, and I once had a sire, A mother who granted each infant desire ; O...ur cottage it stood in a wood-embower' d vale, "Where the ringdove would warble its sorrowful tale. 4 But my father and mother w r cre summon'd away, And they left me to hard-hearted strangers a prey; I fled from their rigour with many a sigh, And now I 'm a poor little Wandering Boy. 5 The wind it is keen, and the snow loads the gale, And no one will list to my innocent tale ; I'll go to the grave where my parents both lie, And death shall befriend the poor Wandering Boy. CANZONET. Maiden ! wrap thy mantle round thee, Cold the rain beats on thy breast : Why should Horror's voice astound thee ?
