Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems in Sunshine and Firelight The Pioneer´s Chimney. We leave the highway here a little space - (So much of life is near so much of death:) The chimney of a dwelling still is seen, A little mound of ruin, overgrown With lithe, long grasses and domestic weeds, Among the apple-trees (the ancestors Of yonder orchard fruited from their boughs) - The apple-trees that, when the place was rough With the wild forests, and the land was new, He planted: one, departed long ago, But still a presence unforgotten here, Who bless´d me in my boyhood, with his hands That seem´d like one´s anointed. Gentle, strong And warm´d with sunny goodness, warming all, Was he, familiar by the reverend name Of Uncle Gardner in our neighborhood: His love had grown to common property By ties that Nature draws from man to man, And so at last had claim´d the bond of blood.
