Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dedication to the Right Honourable the Earl Northbrook II. I tuned my harp among the bright hare-bells, Beside the lone rocks of my native hill, And, wondering, mused through Fancy´s airy cells, Where Music wooed me with her pastoral quill: And even with the pick and mining-drill, And echoing mallet, hymns were in mine ear. Where Poverty sits sighing en the sill, Or cowers in wards whose very walls are drear, And sighs are rising still, the sounds of psalm I hear. III. But nevermore that vision met mine eye, Till Northbrook came with humbleness of soul, Whose faithful friendship bade the shadows fly, And cheered me onward to the final goal, Where fragrant winds and clearest waters roll: And well I knew ´twas he whom then I scanned Where fays along the mossy moor-tracks stole, And silvery echoes tilled the listening land, Which he who pauses now may hear and understand. IV. The truest helper is the man of peace, Whose sword is sheathed, whose spear is idly pent, Who strives that war and wretchedness may cease, The gun be hushed, and the last bullet spent; To save, not waste, his sanctified intent: Who cheers his brother on life´s rude highway, Whose feeble steps are slowly homeward bent, And such is Northbrook, with no false display, So gladly I to him inscribe my simple lay.
