Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poems of William Wye Smith From billowed Lakes beneath the Northern star, That throb against her granite battlements - To where the Northern Lights hold mystic dance, Canadia lies, with mellow sunbeams crowned. ´Tis not a storied land of old romance - For men still battle with the rooted giants That once held solemn court o´er all the land; - And all her Poets are but striplings yet, And joyous hope the keynote of their hymns. Yet one of these - not bay, but maple-crowned - Hath set him down to sing his country´s praise. Not from the windows of the city, viewing The pride that but affects some other pride In lands afar, where Mammon hath grown old, And in his dotage flings his gold about: - But from the bosky dell and silent wood - From hill-top crowned with sumach and wild brier, - From gentle meadows, where the beaver once Held carnival amid the nameless streams - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
