Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lafayette and the Rustic Rambler Lafayette. Columbia, art thou a modern muse? It matters not, I´ll boldly thee invoke. O, wilt thou now my longing soul enthuse To sing a worthy lay of Lafayette? A son of bloody revolutions two, To his dear France and thee his heart was true. Thou lovst him well; for in thy Capital His statue has been raised before thy gate, Where, as they pass, thy sons and daughters all Behold him standing midst his brave compeers. He wears the continental uniform, And seems to see War´s distant rising storm. And hanging in thy legislative halls Beside the portrait of George Washington The handsome figure of my hero falls Upon the vision of thy statesmen wise. Columbia, he hath won thy tender heart; Else why should thou embalm him thus in art? His father fell on Minden´s battle field, While sleeping in his cradle lay the babe; And Liberty with doting eyelids kneeled, And whispered: "This is my beloved Knight!" In soft Auvergne arose the towered chateau, Where slumbered then Oppression´s bravest foe. A frail and timid child, it hardly seemed, He´d live to round out manhood´s sturdy form; But, while he still on boyish visions dreamed, He found himself a royal musketeer; And, scarce sixteen, in Cupid´s blissful net He was enmesht with Madame Lafayette.
