    (A Retrospect.)

    Convulsions came; and, where the field
    Long slept in pastoral green,
    A goblin-mountain was upheaved
    (Sure the scared sense was all deceived),
    Marl-glen and slag-ravine.

    The unreserve of Ill was there,
    The clinkers in her last retreat;
    But, ere the eye could take it in,
    Or mind could comprehension win,
    It sunk!--and at our feet.

    So, then, Solidity's a crust--
    The core of fire below;
    All may go well for many a year,
    But who can think without a fear
    Of horrors that happen so?
