Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Last Token A Last Token Adolphus Salamander The evening sun was sinking low; The western sky was all aglow; And colored bright the Ohio From bank to bank at Louisville; Long iron bridges spanned the stream; Homewards the darky drove his team; And far off, fading like a dream, Stretched a long line of ridgy hill; While smoke, both thick and dark of hue, Rose to the sky and marred the view. Yet it was still a lovely scene, A hint what long ago had been; When the red forester retained Control and nature through him gained. A fellow sitting on the bluff, Who claimed to be a workingman, Whose thoughts far more on travel ran, Viewed it disdainfully enough. The charms of country scenery, Contrasting with the smoky blight, - A cloud of smoke hung on the height: - Rose up within his memory. He held a paper in his hand: The ´Courier Journal,´ which he thought, Was worth a nickel when he bought: - A leading journal in the land. Tied to the bank a shanty boat His idle fancy kept afloat; There were two shanty boats in fact; The first one was a traveling boat.
