Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tancred´s Daughter and Other Poems Tancred´s Daughter. How very cold the human heart can grow That only lives for gold and its delight; How it will shrivel up to never know The wondrous language of a summer night; How it can learn to mock the ruby glow That rises o´er the cheek at beauty´s sight; How it can ebb and ebb and sink away To some bleak shore, rememberless of May. How it will chafe upon the barren beach And war against the resolute rocks of time, Mad with itself and all within its reach, While past do sail fair barques to sunny clime, It foully strives to make a wreck of each; It cannot be content except the chime Of death and wan dismay be daily heard, - ´T is then it gloats like any vulture bird. And it must dash fond hopes to utter death Ay, it must slay, an ever ruthless sea; It cannot lovers find but straight its breath Is quick with words of vengeful calumny About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
