Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Banners of the Coast From out the secret mountain deeps my yearning soul was drawn, I flow through violet valleys, and by languorous leagues of lawn, In the beauty of the mountains in the dusk and in the dawn. There I saw the far blue mountains in the visionary west, Saw the mist upon the mountains in the opal evening west, Saw the clouds that labor for me o´er the mountains´ misty crest. Then I journey through the midland where the cotton´s in the boll, Where the stalwart rustling corn-ranks, like an army past control, March down upon my margin where my waters softly roll. (Once I saw my queenly City, when the foe had stormed the gate; Saw my proud, defenceless City, in the brutal hands of fate, And the land cried out for mercy on Columbia, desolate.) But the ocean ever calls me in a solemn undertone, Past the mountains, past the meadows where the waving willows shone, Past many a pine and cypress standing sentinel alone. And so I reach the Delta in the quiet closing day; Through the reaches of the ricefields, stretching mistily away, I go as a grey spirit through a throng of spirits grey: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
