Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sailor and Beachcomber, Confessions of a Life at Sea, in Australia, and Amid the Islands of the Pacific The soul of all the songs I sing, Whatever sounds most true, I dedicate each wild true ring, Inspired, old chums, by you. The world grieves not that you are dead - Brave, reckless men who died, Crept from their camp-fires back to bed Along the wild hill-side. But, comrades, ´neath the hills or waves, Could one sad song of mine Reveal dead souls of far-off graves, ´Twould be a song divine. As pure and sweet as flowers that grow Where once with wild delight You sang, where bush-flowers, bursting, blow Thro´ dead fire-ash to-night. And so in dreams I take your hands, In long-dead eyes I gaze, And half in tears from other lands Bring back the dear old days. In other lands ´neath greyer skies Wild rides again recall, Your songs, your laughing, manly eyes - The boy who loved you all. Lies in my sea-chest ´neath my bed The fiddle, stringless, still; Old chums, since all of you are dead, ´Neath forest steep and hill, I cannot play the songs you loved; But with tired eyes and pen I strive to tell the truth, who roved, And found you - God´s best men.
