Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Services in Honor of Samuel J. Tilden: At the California Theatre, Wednesday Evening, October 20, 1886, Under the Auspices of the California State Democratic Club In Memoriam. By Daniel O´Connel, Esq. When the toiler in the morning goes forth to sow the seed, His brown hands full of garnered grain, and his footsteps free and bold; Through all his weary labor he is thinking of the meed, When Autumn´s russet mantle shall the teeming earth unfold. The ploughshare shapes the furrow, the seed is scattered wide, And the Winter rains fall kindly upon the thirsty field, And the toiler´s heart is gladdened, as he contemplates with pride The rich reward of labor his harvesting shall yield. ´Midst the singing of the sailors, across the harbor bar, The tall ship moves, her gliding keel the foaming waters spurn, And many watch her progress, and bless her from afar - Their farewells filled with yearning for the noble bark´s return. But that gallant ship is stricken by the storm, and the wreck The hurricane has driven upon the iron shore, And drowned men are lying upon her shattered deck, And they who watched her from the port shall never see her more. And the harvest for the reaper is nought but tare and weed, For the heavens withheld their moisture; there was nought but drought and frost; Not a single blade of corn is born from the seed, And the labor of the husbandman is futile all and lost. But patiently he sows the grain and trusts another year, And gallantly another ship goes forth upon the sea, And the sailor´s sturdy bosom a stranger is to fear, And the husbandman looks forward to his harvest from the lea.
