Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pebbles From the Shore Rye Harbor Under the bridge, by the old tide-mill, Through leaky flood-gate, fountain and rill Bubble and gush into pearly spray, Fall into foam-flakes that float away; By wheel and posts they silently glide, And swiftly waltz on the ebbing tide, To the merry chime of tinkling rill, And steady whir of the busy mill. A rickety, old, unpainted mill, With broken window and rotting sill; With many a crevice long and wide; For years has it weathered wind and tide, And, faithfully, still it works away Through storm and sunshine, day after day. Seaweed and grass from its braces swing, And moss and shells to the flood-gate cling. South of the bridge, on a Sabbath day Long years ago, where the minnows play In the shallows, little True was found; Catching the minnows? No, he was drowned. His parents, driving from church, glanced down At something bright; ´twas his little gown, - And the child was dead. Oh, baby True, Does the old mill still remember you? The green marsh down to the water slopes, And birds alight on the schooner´s ropes, That so calmly leans on her larboard side, As down the channel recedes the tide; And it leaves the wharf all grim and grey, With its chains, and ropes, and wisps of hay. The foam-flakes fly as the south wind blows, Where the channel bends and wider grows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
