Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Citizens of Nahant, Memorial Day, 1882 Custom and law have set this day apart and consecrated it to the memory of those who fell in the war of the rebellion. It comes just at the parting of the seasons, the central point of the natural year. We stand here, with the months of snow and frost, with the months of alternating sunshine and rain, of spring and seed-time, behind us; and as we pause upon the threshold of summer, we look forward to the days of warmth and ripening, and to those of harvest and fruitage. That memorial day should come at such a time seems to me a fine coincidence, and full of a beautiful significance. We gather to commemorate the deeds of those who endured the winter of our discontent, who bore the burden in the dark days, who sowed the seed when the clouds of spring began to break, and left it to us, for whom they did so much, to rest quietly in the summer sunshine of peace and prosperity, and in the mellow autumn reap the harvest which they planted. It is a day peculiarly fit for the loving and solemn tribute which is everywhere rendered to the dead. With reverent hands we lay our flowers upon their graves: - "Where Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay, And Freedom shall awhile repair To dwell a weeping hermit there."
