Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Geronimo´s Summer Campaign in 1885: A Drama Prologue. That rolling orb which wakes the smiling morn Had just on highest summits cast a dawn, And sent a streak of heaven-glancing light Among the fading shadows of the night; To open up, within a tropic clime, A day of dryness, laziness and crime. Within a land where Aztecs once have been, And warring Toltecs, passing o´er the scene. Have stamp´d their image, rear´d some walls on high, Which now in flat-abandon´d ruin lie; Like all the palaces that man will rear, To stand their useful day and disappear. Now down the vale the morn begins to break, And bids the creatures of the plains awake. This is the valley of the Gila plain, Where vegetation languishes for rain; And all the cactus, ferns and straggling flowers Do droop their heads beneath their leafy bowers, And pray the sun this precious boon to grant; To give them rain for which their fiber pant, Or they will hang their weary heads and die For want of moisture to their cells supply. Those plants, though bred to stand the sultry air, Do wilt beneath this droughty season rare, And close their calyx, so the sun can´t wrest The substance from their sensitive young breast. And while the plants protect their virgin blooms From the great ravisher´s desire, the fumes Of heat o´ertake a herd oi antelope, Who are just winding down the porphyry slope To seek for water in the vales below. They too do pant beneath the scorching glow, And stretch their aching muzzles parch´d and dry Towards the valley where a stream rolls by; Where Rio Gila pours his foaming tide About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
