Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorials of Washington and of Mary, His Mother, and Martha, His Wife Patriots of every country will welcome with pride and gratification the following exquisite Sonnet from the pen of Francis Bennoch, the loved and gifted friend of Mary Russell Mitford, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Longfellow. It has been suggested that the two final lines would serve admirably as an inscription for the Pedestal of the National Monument. Washington. Before thy tomb, great Statesman, I have bowed In humble reverence, knowing well the zeal With which thou struggled for thy people´s weal. Struggled and conquered! Never tempest cloud Could stay the lightning of thy heart, nor shroud That quenchless courage which made despots reel, And men, down-trodden, of thy prowess proud! And now I gaze with rapture on thy face So calm and deep in thought, transcending earth!) By Sharples limned, - where dignity, and grace, And force combined to give a Nation birth, With power to speak and liberate the race! Of Freedom´s bravest leaders, there are none Whose fame o´ershadows thine, Heroic Washington! Francis Bennoch.
