Book Description

Excerpt from Havelock's March: And Other Poems Lady Marian. In her Ancestral tree's old smiling shade, Spencer and Milton sang, and Shakespeare played. I cannot prophesy immortal fame, And endless honour for my lady's name Thro' my poor Verse; but it shall surely give All that it has, and long as it may live. She heard my children singing in the street, And smiled down on them starry-clear and sweet, But halfway up in Heaven, and far from me, As Shakespeare's Juliet in her balcony; A golden Creature, all too rare to stay, With waving white hand she would pass away! Now I have seen her; heard her voice To-day, And toucht her hand; enricht my life for aye: The thought in sunbeams radiantly upsprings, To smile out in the saddest face of things. After the gloom is gone, the worst is passed, I know you, my good Fairy, found at last. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
