Lord Sand
Lord Sand left the sea for the fields
I fear he is not well that it was done for a joke
the weather is now very warm an axe white with light
but Lord Sand they say will lead in the darkest manner
mouth in mourning like a prince believed to lay up hidden money
lord of anger without any consciousness of his faults
he has no face but a grave which I will not call my brother
I resolve to stand on my own legs or fall
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 20 January 1663/64.
