Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Lyrics of a Finnish Harp Ode To Finland Finland! my home-land! bring thy beauty forth! One unknown son of thine hymns thee to-day. Thou hardy-footed daughter of the North, Unveil thy comeliness. And may my lay Now set vibrating ev´ry bosom´s lyre With such sufficient chorus of thy harms That worlds may catch the echoes; while the thrill Of patriotic ire Doth tingle deep betwixt the yearning arms Of all thy scattered sons who love thee still. Dear Finland! lovëd cradle of my birth! Once more cold, iron-heeled Adversity Is picking his grim steps upon thy earth, Wearing the conscious scowl of tyranny. Feels thy great heart, O mother-country mine, One pang of sorrow, whatso´er the cause, There springs in travail in my exiled breast The answer-pang to thine. Yet, thousands of thy distant children pause Consoled: "He chastens whom He loveth best." So while our tearful plaint forthy unrest Is chorusing the cry on thine own shore, Our eyes can shine to recognize thee blest E´en through the mist of tears that swims before. Thou art too noble, to thy oath too leal, To plan injustice with a beetling brow Because thy jealous neighbor rules thee ill: Wait! see thy hope grow real - The power that stealthily oppresses now Regain the justice of its gentler will. Sweet land! where pine-wood scented breaths Plead to be playmates with the lake-born whiffs, Where every day a thousand fleeting deaths Are rippled forth, between the plying skiffs, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
