Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lost Parson: And Other Poems The Lost Parson. Once on a time - a form we children had To launch our tales of fairies good and bad - In humble faith while simple souls yet knelt, Somewhere of old an English Parson dwelt, Rich without gold, and great without renown; I say not if in country or in town. And I would paint (yet scarcely can tell how) His picture whom our fathers used to know, That town and country, left so long without, May of his lapsed existence cease to doubt, Nor finding by some gray sequestered spire All ignorantly of his race inquire. Let Faith then to my eyes a glimpse restore Of things unhoped for which we see no more, And from his changed successors let us guess What never were his actions, thought, or dress. E´en cold extinct volcanoes serve to show What forces once were there, and what a glow. And first this contrast strikes as not the least: He did not all begin and end in "Priest," But shared the joys and griefs of every roof, Nor held himself, a sacred thing, aloof. What Priest to friendship with his flock descends? But this man was "The Parson," they his friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
