Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Good Old Knapsack, and Other Poems The Veteran of the Mexican War. Halt there! veteran, for I know you by the badge that decks your breast! Listen, while I faintly picture how a soldier of the West Fought and died for our loved country, - paying thus the patriot´s debt, - Braved the hordes of Santa Anna, and the murderous escopet! Many a brave boy left his mother for the fields of Mexico, Whose white bones are bleaching whiter near the mountains tipped with snow; Many a brother left a sister, many a true heart left his love, - Left - no more to clasp the dear ones till they meet in courts above! You are spared to tell the story - you are here to join the ranks Of those worn and shattered veterans who receive the Nation´s thanks! Though your sleeve to-day be empty - though all pensionless you stand, With the crowds that come to hail the great Centennial of our land, - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
