Oh, my. You'll never guess what I found. A Web site of poetry, including "Lake of the Dismal Swamp," which I just so arduously typed. Oh, well, here's the URL:

There was another thomas Moore poem I was tempted to type. I'm glad I didn't, since it's on the Web site. Here's an excerpt:The Time I've Lost In Wooing
Thomas Moore 1817

The time I've lost in wooing,
In watching and pursuing
The light, that lies
In woman's eyes,
Has been my heart's undoing.
Though Wisdom oft has sought me,
I scorn'd the lore she brought me,
My only books
Were woman's looks,
And folly's all they've taught me.
