Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fortunatus the Pessimist Fortunatus That makes the branches splinter, And threshes out the corn: When chimney-stacks arc shaken, And flooded is the ditch, And the gammer salts the bacon, And the lasses sit and stitch, Or thread the melted tallow To cheer the longsome nights, And the ploughland oozeth fallow, And the black frost nips and bites; When we close and bar the shutter, As the wet winds wail and sob, And we watch the chestnuts sputter And crackle on the hob; When the Yule log lights the rafter, And the gossip tells the tale, And the house is filled with laughter, And the mugs are filled with ale: Three cheers for Winter! The shepherds sing. Three cheers for Springtime, That makes the pastures strong, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
