Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prairie Flowers Texas She is young and poorly tutored and her feet are brown and bare, And the winds from off the Prairie tan her cheek and toss her hair. And she plants her northern borders and she guides her southern wave, And she dreams not half the promise that the great All Father gave. She has felt the weight of shackles and her wrists are purple yet, She has trod a bitter wine-press that she never can forget, And among her central hill-sides where the cactus bushes blow, Bleak against the blue above her, stands a silent Alamo. In the pauses of her freedom she can hear its shadows speak, And her heart beats high with triumph and the tear is on her cheek, For its signal-gun grew silent with the heart-beat of her brave, And the star that lights her forehead drew its luster from their grave. Long ago they marched and struggled in the battle´s heated breath, Strong of heart and stern of purpose, dauntless in the face of death. For dark with hate of tyranny, they murmured in their chains, They climbed the purple hill-tops and they looked across the plains, They saw the green slopes reaching down to touch the far-off sea, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
