Book Description

Excerpt from A Garden by the Sea, and Other Poems A Garden by the Sea. On high grey cliffs uplifted, A garden by the sea Is smiling in the sunshine, And softly sings to me. The roses chant in rapture Their madrigals apart, The lilies hymn the moonlight That lingers in their heart; The violets caressing Their mother earth, sing low The cradle songs she taught them In Eden long ago. The humming-birds, whose kisses A thousand loves may claim, Through sun and shade are flashing, In darts of lyric flame. And when the wind of ocean A song of Freedom sings, Its harp the swaying pine-trees, The flying spray its wings, - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
