Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Empire Day in Ontario: Friday May 23rd, 1913 Empire Day, 1913 King Alfred The Northmen came about our land A Christless chivalry; Who knew not of the arch or pen, Great, beautiful half-witted men From the sunrise and the sea. Our towns were shaken of tall kings With scarlet beards like blood; The world turned empty where they trod, They took the kindly cross of God And cut it up for wood. When the pagan people of the sea Fled to their palisades, Nailed there with javelins to cling, And wonder smote the pirate king, And brought him to his christening And the end of all his raids. In the days of the rest of Alfred When all these things were done, And Wessex lay in a patch of peace, Like a dog in a patch of sun. The King sat in his orchard, Among the apples green and red. With the little book in his bosom And the sunshine on his head. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
