Excerpt from The Shifting Wind and Other Poems And through the gloomy chimney-place Summons the tongues of flame the higher. And now responsive shadows play And dance about the lonely room Until it seems that joy alone Could habit here instead of gloom. Oh Yes, the Winds have turned about And now are chasing from the west; But oh That Fortune's storm could change The tides within this troubled breast.
