Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Rhymes of a Roughneck
For a thousand years the Devil crouched. On the white hot flags of hell For a thousand years the Devil cursed The imps that had chained him well; For a thousand years the Devil sulked And planned with his hell-trained brain Of the things he'd do, when his term was thr'u, And freed from the blistering chain.
He'd even the score with the men of earth, And give them back pain for pain, For all of the days he had felt the blaze And the sear of the galling chain.
