Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Martyr of the Mohawk Valley: And Other Poems A Martyr of the Mohawk Valley. (Father Isaac Jogues, S.j., The Martyr Missionary Of The Mohawks, Slain October 18, 1646, At The Indian Castle Of Ossernenon, Now Auriesville, On The Mohawk.) I. The sunset dwindles in the darkening West, Empurpling shadows mantle hill and vale; A soft light haloes Ossernenon´s crest, Where mounts the moonrise pale. The land is lulled save for the night-owl´s flight, The torrent moaning in the deep ravine, The multitudinous murmur of the night From grass and forest green. The palisaded village lies in peace, The swarthy brave dreams not of war´s alarms. When shall I taste, O Jesu! sweet surcease From sorrow in Thine arms? When shall I find the solace that I seek? For howsoe´er the spirit, Lord, be fain To suffer for Thy sake, the flesh is weak And, shuddering, shrinks from pain.
