AD ASTRA: 7 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: SO THRO' THE CHANGE OF DAYS, WHEN WINTER HOAR
Last Line: THE MOCKING WINDS THAT DESOLATE THE EARTH!
Subject(s): COURTS & COURTIERS; FIGHTS; HEARTS;

So thro' the change of days, when Winter hoar
Doth wrestle with his brother for the crown,
When to the clash of elements at war
Autumnal dirges are around us blown,
What wonder if the heart some sadness own
Amid the tempest and its bitter mirth,
The mocking winds that desolate the earth!
