Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life of Horace Greeley: With Brief Extracts From His Writings and Biographical Notes "I send thee, Greeley, words of cheer, Thou bravest, truest, best of men; For I have marked thy strong career, As traced by thine own sturdy pen. I´ve seen thy struggles with the foes That dared thee to the desperate fight, And loved to watch thy goodly blows. Dealt for the cause thou deem´st the right. "Thou´st dared to stand against the wrong When many faltered by thy side; In thy own strength hast dared be strong. Nor on another´s arm relied. Thy own bold thoughts thou´st dared to think, Thy own great purposes avowed; And none have ever seen thee shrink From the fierce surges of the crowd. "Thou, all unaided and alone, Didst take thy way in life´s young years, With no kind hand clasped in thy own, No gentle voice to soothe thy tears. But thy high heart no power could tame, And thou hast never ceased to feel Within thy veins a sacred flame That turned thy iron nerves to steel. "I know that thou art not exempt From all the weaknesses of earth; For passion comes to rouse and tempt The truest souls of mortal birth. But thou hast well fulfilled thy trust, In spite of love and hope and fear; And e´en the tempest´s thunder-gust But clears thy spirit´s atmosphere. "Thou still art in thy manhood´s prime, Still foremost ´mid thy fellow-men, Though in each year of all thy time Thou hast compressed threescore and ten. Oh, may each blessed sympathy, Breathed on thee with a tear and sigh, A sweet flower in their pathway be, A bright star in thy clear blue sky."
