Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Poems and Ballads The bards of by-gone days, with souls inspired By lofty themes, chanted most noble strains - trains so sublime the listening world did pause, As lost in mute delight. They sang of War, And all its fervid joys - sang the great deeds Of martyr-men, who gave, ´mid torturing wounds And bitter woes, their heart´s last throbbing prayers To Freedom´s sacred eause - then, smiling, died, And left behind them names that evermore, Like starry orbs, illum´d the realm of Thought. These bards of old, in tuneful numbers sang The fate of Nations too - sang of their rise, Their glory, their renown; then sadly sang The story of their swift and sure decline, As Pomp and Pride and Luxury crept in, To undermine the fair and stately towers That self-denying Virtue, frugal Toil, And patient Industry had slowly reared. Oh! these majestic masters of the lyre! Well they fulfilled their noble mission here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
