Impromptu In The Assize Court, Nottingham,
Topics: classic
On seeing BRET HARTE come upon the Bench. Thanks for an hour of laughing In a world that is growing old; Thanks for an hour of weeping In a world that is growing cold; For we who have wept with Dickens, And we who have laughed with Boz, Have renewed the days of our childhood With his American Coz.
