Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Vol. 2 Homesick In Heaven. The Angel. - Why thus, apart, - the swift-winged herald spake, - Sit ye with silent lips and unstrung lyres While the trisagion´s blending chords awake In shouts of joy from all the heavenly choirs? The First Spirit. - Chide not thy sisters, - thus the answer came; - Children of earth, our half-weaned nature clings To earth´s fond memories, and her whispered name Untunes our quivering lips, our saddened strings; For there we loved, and where we love is home, Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts, Though o´er us shine the jasper-lighted dome: - The chain may lengthen, but it never parts! Sometimes a sunlit sphere comes rolling by, And then we softly whisper, - can it be? And leaning toward the silvery orb, we try To hear the music of its murmuring sea; To catch, perchance, some flashing glimpse of green, Or breathe some wild-wood fragrance, wafted through About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
