Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Poem in Memoria of James a Garfield Homer, in his Head, sang of the braves; He wrote epics on those who filled honored graves. Heartless is the man who no souvenir would keep, And for loss of loved ones never can weep. The greatest men haveshed tears for the dead. Such men for their country have suffered and bled. Every patriot cares some memento to save Of the nation´s heros who sleep in the grave. He stood unmindful of bis doom. In conscious strength, manly, serene; When fragrant flowers were in bloom He fell - then horror enwraps the scene. Now comes the sudden gush of woe, Where all seemed fair as sunlight beam, Like from clouds which more somber grow, Came direful stroke like lightnings gleam. None thought that an assassin´s hand Would stain our nation with such a deed. When thrift was seen in all our land, Then our noble chief should bleed. James A. Garfield has gone to his last resting place, No more on earth we´ll hear his voice, or see his face, He is dead, the words cause sad feelings o´er us to steal, Language fails to express the poignant woe we feel; True he was only man, yet he our chosen chief, His death, like loss of parent, fills our hearts with grief, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
