Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Collection of Poems Coming of the Soldier Boys (1899) All shout welcome! both the young and old! Kind Providence returns our boys, the bold. Welcome the brave from others´ deals, Their hearts to duty done, our homage yields. No more "hard-tack," nor suspicious beef, No more Eagan turn to give a relief, No more struggle nor encampment strife - For them Kentucky and placid life. The war with them is o´er and we say Their home is here and they have come to stay. To sweethearts and loved ones they have come And naught was laid from shell nor bomb. A Memorial Hear of aspiring, fair Miss Dorset, Who a model would appear Outside here embracing( ); At the broad-ribbed she would sneer. "I´ll look neat and look petite," So snugly she drew the gear. Later, seldom noticed ´twas she´d smile. To laugh her constant fear. At dining she sat the briefest while For a model she would appear. Just to look neat and look petite More snugly she drew the gear. The roses yellowed on her face, Blue lips showed symptoms drear; French heels were dragged in slowest pace, But a model she chose to appear And would look neat, would look petite - Closer yet she drew the gear. The brilliance dulled far back in her eyes, Her breathing shorter efforts, here, The cause? her answer quick denies, For a model she would appear And would look neat and look petite - Together she drew her gear. Then pulseless the conquered anatomy lay. Were sad her parting words to hear, Thro vanity, vanity that will live alway. Even then a model she would appear - "My last wish to look neat and look petite" - The furled idol with flowers was placed on her bier.
