Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from South-Sea Idyls The Cocoa-Tree. Cast on the water by a careless hand, Day after day the winds persuaded me: Onward I drifted till a coral tree Stayed me among its branches, where the sand Gathered about me, and I slowly grew, Fed by the constant sun and the inconstant dew. The sea-birds build their nests against my root, And eye my slender body´s horny case. Widowed within this solitary place Into the thankless sea I cast my fruit; Joyless I thrive, for no man may partake Of all the store I bear and harvest for his sake. No more I heed the kisses of the morn; The harsh winds rob me of the life they gave; I watch my tattered shadow in the wave, And hourly droop and nod my crest forlorn, While all my ¿bres stiffen and grow numb Beck´ning the tardy ships, the ships that never come About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
