Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Progress Attributed to the Laboring Classes: A Poem Delivered Before the Worcester County Mechanics Association, March 3d, 1853 Progress: A Poem. I´ve no excuse for being here, And what, to you, may seem still worse, Can give no reasons why I choose To clothe my humble theme in verse; Except it be for fashion´s sake, For now-a-days I trust you know That prose is being laid aside, While softer numbers gently flow. The school-girl of a dozen years Must spend her hours of leisure time In writing down her youthful thoughts, Regardless of the sense or rhyme; Yet some in this progressive age, Whom Nature ever deigns to bless, Have taken up the harp and pen And written couplets for the press. Each Miss must have a fancy book - I think the Album is its name, And all good friends, both young and old Contribute nonsense to the same; Then tell what wonders they have done, And with a look and air sublime Show how they have relinquished prose, And now are wading into rhyme.
