Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lamplighter Picture Book, or the Story of Uncle True and Little Gerty, Vol. 1 Listen, children, to the story Which I now relate to you, How forlorn and homeless "Gerty" Found a friend in "Uncle True." Gerty was an orphan lonely, Never meeting kindly smile, Which from loving spirits only Can the soul of grief beguile. In the far-famed Tri-mount city Scenes of sadness have transpired: Not alone by little Gerty Is the telltale muse inspired. There, alas! the foe of freedom Captured once his trembling slave, Placed on him again those fetters Far less welcome than the grave. There, too oft, the bondman, seeking Freedom´s boon, like Noah´s dove Found no resting-place of safety, None to cheer, and none to love. Better days, perchance, are dawning For the weary fugitive: Now the lark-song of our morning Is, "Let all in freedom live."
