Excerpt from The Burning of Chicago: A Poem Kind friend, I thank thee for thy sympathy; ´tis balm to soothe my spirit in distress; And could I but repay thee as I would, My Muse should be invoked to ease my heart Of the deep debt of gratitude it owes, And still must owe, for lack Of power to pay; For still the memory of that fiery sea, Whose waves engulfed our city in their wrath, Usurps dominion o´er my helpless will, And rules supreme, a tyrant o´er its realm. Oh, such a scene transpiring ´neath my view, Myself a part, appears to me a dream, A hideous nightmare, from whose deadly grasp I ever seem to ¿y, - but ¿y in vain! 3 Can nothing blot the memory Of that night, That Sabbath night Of horrors, from my soul; And leave it a receptacle, once more, Of peace and bliss, secure from boding ill? Alas, too deep the imprint Of that scene, That fearful scene, is branded on my heart For. Aught, save dissolution, to efface. That night, October 8th, will ever be An era in the history Of the world: ´one thousand eighteen hundred seventy-one, The year of grace in which the scene occurred.
