Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales of the Peerage and the Peasantry, Vol. 2 of 2 And still it was her nightly prayer To live to close his sightless eyes; For this her torturing pains to bear, Then sink in death ere morning rise. Who, were she gone, the staff would guide With which he feels, amiss, his way? Who, careful, lay the stone aside, That might his tottering footstep stay? Who lead him to the sheltered stile That fronts the sun at noontide hour? And watch the western clouds the while To warn him of the gathering shower? Unpublished Ballad from Nature. In one of the last cottages of the village of Overhurst, dwelt Nicholas and Sarah Foster. There, in their accustomed seats, did the neighbours for many years find old Nicholas, still bending over the embers of his humble hearth, and Sarah still gazing through the casement window, in patient endurance of the evils with which each was visited. They rest now in their quiet graves: but those who have known that ancient couple will not easily forget their appearance, or that of all around them: they will remember the well-polished wooden chair in which the old woman sat, both her hands pressed tightly against her right side, as if to quell the tortures of an agonizing and mortal complaint which had long preyed upon her: they will remember the very dress she wore, - such as is rarely seen of late years.
