Excerpt from Daniel Periton: And Other Gatherings From the Driftwood of Idle Hours on the Poetic Sea
He gallops on, slacks not his pace, Until he reach the town, Then halts be for a moment's space To make his errand known The South Fork dam will soon give way; The flood will soon be here! Let no man in this city stay, But seek some refuge near.
