Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Up in Maine: Stories of Yankee Life Told in Verse I don´t know how to weave a roundelay, I couldn´t voice a sighing song of love; No mellow lyre that on which I play; I plunk a strident lute without a glove. The rhythm that is running through my stuff Is not the whisp of maiden´s trailing gown; The metre, maybe, gallops rather rough, Like river-drivers storming down to town. - It´s more than likely something from the wood, Where chocking axes scare the deer and moose; A homely rhyme, and easy understood - An echo from the weird domain of Spruce. Or else it´s just some Yankee notion, dressed In rough-and-ready " Uncle Dudley" phrase; Some honest thought we common folks suggest, - Some tricksy mem´ry-flash from boyhood´s days. I cannot polish off this stilted rhyme With all these homely notions in my brain. A sonnet, sir, would stick me every time; Let´s have a chat ´bout common things in Maine.
