Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The California Pioneer, and Other Poems The California Pioneer. Good Night! Good night! I cannot rest; the old yet sweet refrain Calls up the phantoms of the past to throng my weary brain. ´Twas twenty years ago to-night, I left my eastern home A boy with heart as buoyant as the light ocean foam. A mother´s tender kiss was pressed upon my beardless face; E´en now I see the pleading eyes of ray sweet sister Grace, And feel her arms around my neck just as they were of yore; She came and tried to win me back, outside the kitchen door - "Oh, brother darling! do not go to California´s shore; We love you - do not risk your life for all her golden ore. Stay with us - stay on the old farm; father is growing old, And half the anguish of her heart mother´s face hath not told.
