Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Lays of Jesmond and Tyneside Songs and Poems To Sir W. G. Armstrong, F.R.S., C.B., &c. Sir William! to your genius and your name, The praise of men can add but little fame, But stout Northumbrian hearts would not be true If silence was their only gift to you. To Lady Armstrong and to you we owe More than mere words of gratitude can show; Munificence like yours, so great, so rare, Enduring marble should alone declare. And yet, what marble or what fluent pen Could mark your place among our greatest men? Your works of genius, enterprise, and skill, Themselves are monuments that nations fill. Born in our midst, it is our boast and pride To claim you for ourselves and dear Tyneside; And though no native honours may you crown, Your name reflects on us its great renown. How shall we all your deeds of kindness praise? For each new gift fresh thoughtfulness displays; Man´s noblest form of life you seem to live - You live to labour and you love to give. The church, the hospital, the school, our health, Have each to own your fostering care and wealth; But over all, our hearts most touched have been By this - your gift of lovely Jesmond Dene. Accept, Sir William, the unbounded thanks Of every resident on Tyneside´s banks; May Elswick, Cragside, Jesmond, all proclaim Your worth, your enterprise, and world-wide fame.
