Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from By-Paths in the Balkans Dedication I sang of arms and men a merry story, You loved to hear of war and well-fought fray; My tale once clashed like steel and smelt of glory, There were nor love nor kisses in my lay; The tints were crude and glaring, coarse and gory, No mellow colours of a moon-struck May; When you would choose a song of gentler chiming You thrust me off - in battle is no rhyming. The blood flows slowly now; no more wild gleaming Of steel-reflected sun, in sport of kings, Disturbs life´s eventide - only a dreaming Of dead ambitions, and the tears of things; What little war is left, is but a scheming For bread and shelter, and the soldier sings In stiller accents, worn and weary grown: These are his songs - his very best, your own.
