Poem by Thomas Hood

On Lieutenant Eyre’s Narrative of the Disasters at Cabul

A sorry tale, of sorry plans,
Which this conclusion grants,
That Affghan clans had all the Khans
And we had all the cant’s.

1. Written in Keats' “Endymion”
2. The Two Peacocks of Bedfont
3. Song (The stars are with the voyager)
4. Ode on a Distant Prospect of Clapham Academy
5. Ballad (She's up and gone, the graceless girl)
