Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Election Poets: The Goldsmith Anthology; 1745-1774 Oliver Goldsmith. ´Forbear, my son!´ the Hermit cries, ´To tempt the dangerous gloom! For yonder phantom only flies To lure thee to thy doom! ´Here to the houseless child of want, My door is open still; And though my portion is but scant, I give it with good will! ´Then turn, to-night, and freely share Whate´er my cell bestows! My rushy couch, and frugal fare, My blessing, and repose! ´No Flocks, that range the valley free, To slaughter I condemn; Taught by that Power that pities me, I learn to pity them! ´But from the mountain´s grassy side, A guiltless feast I bring! A scrip with herbs and fruits supplied; And water from the spring! ´Then, Pilgrim! turn! thy cares forgo! For earth-born cares are wrong! Man wants but little here below; Nor wants that little long!´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
