Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Song of the Southland, and Other Poems A Song of the Southland Blow softly, South-wind, o´er the land to-day, And murmur sweetly as I tune my lay. Let fragrant zephyrs touch Æolian strings, - A tardy poet, of the Southland sings - Sings of the land where the magnolias grow; Sings of the land where crystal rivers flow - How lavish Nature, weary on her round Of blessing, here at length a country found, That pleased her so she emptied all her charms And slept serenely in the Southland´s arms; But, softly sleeping, smiles amid her dreams, As lingering Phoebus kisses her with beams, And showering roses on her bosom fair, Himself he nestles in a dew-drop there. But more; as when young Hermes sought the fold, And found the lyre which proved more worth than gold, Sing, me, the kind and providential Hand That made a people that should suit the land; How, while for youth Ponce de Leon sought, And Cortez, gold, each in his turn, they wrought A mighty work (though neither found his aim) - That blessed the world and kept the founder´s name; That served at length - though neither knew its worth - To smooth the cradle for a Nation´s birth. There was a day when Eden´s charms were vain. Though gleeful birds sang in melodious strain; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
