Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sailor´s Bride: And Other Poems Poems. The Sailor´s Bride Of Hartlepool. The Story Of The Mate Of The Russian Prize Vessel, "The Wild Tom Cat." On a rugged cliff where the billows beat In their foaming freaks, at the sea bird´s feet; Away on the brink of St. Hilda´s shore, Where the wild, wild waves, mourn out evermore, A charming young bride, in a sorrowful mood, Alone on its brink in thoughtfulness stood; For soon she´d be left in her neat, cosy cot, And her heart grew sad as she thought of her lot; For the man of her choice would soon be away On the treacherous deep, by night and by day. So she watched in the bay the gay, gallant barque, With fluttering sails, like the wings of a lark, And the brave British flag - the Union Jack - Waved its silent adieu, on its outward track; While gallant Jack Tars, with a quick bounding leap, Gave a farewell cheer as they skim´d o´er the deep. And far, far away, on the top-gallant yard, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
