Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from All the Earth Round: A Nautical Poem, in Six Cantos Hold, fleeting life! and let my mind engage, To trace thy footsteps at an early age, The moments seize, that now are threat´ning fast, To efface the thoughts and memories of the past. Heroic muse! here rest awhile your wing; Calliope! a mortal seeks to sing, - Goddess reverèd since the age of man In thoughts divine with harmony began. Upon him cast your all-inspiring robe, He seeks to sing a voyage around the globe, And craves your aid, his lengthy lay to pour, Where Truth and reason may together soar. As strange is fiction, truth is stranger found, Restrained the one, the other hath no bound, The first created in the human brain, The latter, birth with all creation claims. Bright, and more bright the glorious spark has shone, A guide divine, by which all men are known, And though it may impair the poet´s song, Let Truth arise, and light the way along. My lot was cast, - as on a summer´s day, Down by the beach I strolled my lonely way, - Where stillness reigned, and naught was heard beside The gentle breaking of the rippling tide.
