Book Description

Excerpt from Master and Scholar, Etc One star of song from out our firmament Hath passed away, and lo! a vacant space, Where once rich music flowed from lips of grace And soothed the murmurs of our discontent: Silent the voice that once its sweetness sent Through all the windings of the Christian's year, Or sang to lyre attuned for listening ear Of child-like souls whose name is "Innocent." Hush, faithless grief! This Easter morning bright Its witness bears nor star nor voice is gone: That still shines clear for all who love the light; This through far lands and ages soundeth on; Ah! Were it ours to tune our lives aright, Nor basely fail where he hath nobly won! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
