Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of Verse They say that she is only twelve years old And get the Bible down to prove it, too: I don´t believe them. Look into her eyes, And sure as fate you´ll think just like I do. Beneath her brows that gleam like burnished gold, Deep-fringed with lashes never wet with tears, Her eyes look out - the eyes of one who knows The hidden secrets of a thousand years. Myra Hayes. I got my books and fixed the fire, And filled my pipe and fired her up; All things arranged to heart´s desire, No taste of bitter in my cup. And as I steeped myself in lore - Shakespeare, Dumas, Lanier or Poe - A baby´s voice came through the door: "Kiss me good-night before I go!" The white-clad figure standing there, The rosy face, so pure and sweet, The dancing fire, the curving stair. Brought out a picture so complete That I have wished a thousand times It could be drawn and kept for me To carry with me in all climes, Where e´er by chance I come to be. The love she gave, so undeserved, But true as could be, all the same, Not one time from its channel swerved, Nor flickered once its steady flame. And though I fill a lowly place. And dodge disaster all my days, May Fortune show a smiling face To loving little Myra Hayes! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
