A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still
Scrooge said he knew it. And he sobbed
Poor boy!
Spirit! show me no more!
Why do you delight to torture me?
Spirit! remove me from this place
His face had not the harsh and rigid lines of his later years
But it had begun to wear the signs of care and avarice
There was an eager, greedy, restless motion in the eye
Which showed the passion that had taken root
And where are the shadow of the growing tree would fall
I have seen your nobler aspirations fall off one by one
Until the master-passion, Gain, engrosses you
That which promised happiness when we were one in heart
Is fraught with misery now that we are two
An unprofitable dream
May you be happy in the life you have chosen!
But the relentless Ghost pinioned him in both his arms
And forced him to observe what happened next
I was a boy here!
