Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Adnah: A Tale of the Time of Christ Dedication Whence comes the beauty of the Rose? Not in a day its wonder grows, But many a night and morning sees It drink the perfume of the breeze, And draughts of clear-gold sunshine cooled in mellow dew, And song of birds, and voice of love forever new. Then, when at last its Day has come, with every grateful leaf unfurled, It but returns in other form that which it borrowed from the world. Whence comes a Book-thought? Not as sped Full-armed Minerva from the head. Nay, many a passing year has seen The dust-thoughts blown about some theme Till it becomes one´s own. This book is but the flower Of thoughts long fed upon song, light, and hope, - love´s dower. So in this book I but return the borrowed gifts, true, pure and rare, Which a Father and a Mother gave in other form of love and care. If there is music in this book, From them its sweetest tones I took. If sunshine gleams along its line, It was their smiles that made it mine. If truth eternal precious perfume breathes Of heavenly message from its outspread leaves, That, too, is borrowed. As the rose doth dedicate its bloom to earth, So I this tale to those from whom its modest merits have their birth.
