Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Soldier-Dead: An Address on Decoration Day, Northville, May 30th, 1884 Ever welcome Spring! Both young men and maidens, old men and children bid thee, All hail! This renewing of the face of the earth, is something to which the most stolid of mortals can never become wholly accustomed. It breaks up the monotony of life like nothing else. Instead of naked and unsightly skeletons, all the trees of the field, and the forest, are dressed in the full magnificence of leaf and flower; and in this there is an intimation of something higher than earth! The rod that budded, was a sign, To all who saw, of power divine; But now the ´anointed eye´ may see, An Aaron´s rod in every tree! Between this season and youth, there is the strongest possible sympathy, and youth enjoy it to the very utmost! No worm as yet on the leaf, no blossom faded and fallen from the bough, not a single winged seed wafted into air from its parent flower, not a solitary note silenced in the chorus of universal song; - the longest day is not too long to gratify the eye, and feast the ear; and night with envious veil comes all too soon. With those, however, who have had a deeper experience of life, it is quite otherwise. In the glad chorus we can not fail to recognize a minor strain. We feel a shadow creeping over the landscape, that was once as bright to us, as to others. The beautiful season does not come altogether as it formerly did: a glory has passed away, that we would gladly have retained.
