Excerpt from What Cheer or Roger Williams in Banishment: A Poem But soon the transient dream of youth was gone, And different labors to our lots were given; You at the shrine of peace and glory shone, Sublime your toils, for still your theme was Heaven; I, upon life's tempestuous billows thrown, A little bark before the tempest driven, Strove for a time the surging tide to breast, And up its rolling mountains sought for rest. Wearied at length with the unceasing strife, I gave my pinnace to the harbor's lee, And left that ocean, still with tempests rife, To mad ambition's heartless rivalry; NO longer venturing for exalted life, (for storms and quicksands have no charms for me, ) I, in the listless labors of the swain, Provoke no turmoil and awake no pain.
