Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Merton "Sweet memory! wafted by thy gentle gale, Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail, To view the fairy haunts of long-lost hours, Blest with far greener shades, far fresher flowers. Who acts thus wisely, mark the moral muse, A blooming Eden in his life renews." Rogers. A voluntary exile from the shore Of my forefathers, my dear native land, Buoyant with hope, and schemes how vainly plann´d, I came; for, like the Nautilus, I bore My home above the waves I ventured o´er. Two little years are gone. Death´s cruel hand Hath smitten, scatter´d that dear household band Whose unity was never touch´d before. Blame not the verse, my friend, if banishment Hath made me rather turn unto the past, Than to what is or shall be - temperate sadness Best suits my alter´d fortunes; my intent Hath been to soothe the present; so I cast My thoughts back on my hours of former gladness.
