Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Collection of Brief Poems I know not that the gay world will list to strains coming forth from a child of loneliness, denied the advantages of wealth, and unaided by the claims of lineage. I know not that it will even tolerate my humble songs, amid the wild bursts of poetic melody breathed out from the inspired harp-strings of the children of genius. And yet I would beg its kind indulgence for sending forth my little "Book" to seek its fortune on the waves of chance. Not as a competitor for fame do I take my stand in the arena of the literary world. Ah no! I would not presume to hope that my humble strains will ever win one laurel from the wreath of glory. And yet it may be, if I had drank from wisdom´s fount the inspiring waters, - had listened to the thrilling eloquence of ancient lore, - if I had trod the halls of other lands, gazed on their artist scenes, heard the deep rolling of their mighty waters, - even my lyre would wake to numbers suited to the ear of taste and song.
