Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Epic of Heaven: And Other Poems Adirondack Readings. Prologue. It was the time of year when flowers were blown, When grass and small fruit were to ripeness grown; When farmers had just taken in the hay, And golden wheat, for store or market day, That on a road that entered the North Woods, Through travel had been stopped by Nature´s floods Having in tumult washed away the piers Of rugged stone, which stood so firm for years, Taking its wooden road-bed down the stream, Dashing, like jumping fish, each board and beam - To take the journey where the Hudson roams Its shining foot-steps by a million homes. Here, at this stream, the stage-coach halting came; The passengers at first desired to blame, While not a few with somewhat crossness spoke, Who afterwards enjoyed it as a joke. And, as the stream could not be bridged just then, Some time for hewing timber, getting men, Causing a delay of at least two days, The pushing driver turned about his bays, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
