The Drunkard's Child: Or, the Triumphs of Faith

Excerpt from The Drunkard's Child: Or, the Triumphs of Faith
The Drunkard's Child.
Part I.
The Scene of Blood.
"And Faith can see a new world, and the eyes Of saints look pity on her."
A Hovel in a dirty lane, -
A squalid, wretched place to see;
Old rags were stuffed in every pane,
And through the cracks winds whistled free.
It was the home - if that sweet name
Be not profaned by spot so drear -
Of those whose only crime or blame
Was loving him who crushed them here.
