Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Exercises on the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Landing of the Pilgrims: Held at Plymouth, Massachusetts Tuesday, December 21, 1920 Order of Exercises (Written for the celebration in 1824 by Rev. John Pierpont) The pilgrim fathers - where are they? The waves that brought them o´er Still roll in the bay, and throw their spray, As they break along the shore: Still roll in the bay, as they rolled that day When the Mayflower moored below, When the sea around was black with storms, And white the shore with snow. The mists, that wrapped the pilgrim´s sleep, Still brood upon the tide; And his rocks yet keep their watch by the deep To stay its waves of pride; But the snow-white sail, that he gave to the gale When the heavens looked dark, is gone, As an angel´s wing, through an opening cloud, Is seen, and then withdrawn. The pilgrim exile - sainted name! The hill, whose icy brow Rejoiced, when he came, in the morning´s flame, In the morning´s flame burns now. And the moon´s cold light as it lay that night On the hillside and the sea Still lies where he laid his houseless head; - But the pilgrim - where is he? The pilgrim fathers are at rest: When Summer´s throned on high, And the world´s warm breast is in verdure dressed Go, stand on the hill where they lie. The earliest ray of the golden day On that hallowed spot is cast; And the evening sun, as he leaves the world, Looks kindly on that spot last.
