A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

JiQU HT tatKGS We v Igw with grief thy deep, deep misery; We hear thy childrens mingled groans and sighs, -A nd feel a holy indignation rise; We see high on the weeping willow hung Sad Erin sharp still broken, still unstrung: A las! no more its joyful numbers flow, Poor Scotia s Thistle droops in sorrow too; We see the demon of oppression spread His direful wings oer thy devoted head. Turning from thee a fierce malignant eye Towards the shores where dwells pure liberty, Thy iruitful soil is still profusely blessed, But thy poor children still by want distress d. Hundreds, nay thousands, do we yearly see Flock to the shores of blessed America We hail you welcooie, all ye worthy ones Ye virtuous daughters and ye noble sons! Long may ye dwell in peace, nor be afraid, Shelter dby Freedom swide extended shade. Oh !land of outrage, rumors, wars and blood, Mid tragic scenes through ages thou hast stood; Kings have succeeded kings in steady line, Usurping oft the throne by basest crime. Thy crumbling ivy d Abbeys still proclaim, In days of yore, thy dark dark deeds of fiime: They tell of lords and knights and chivalry. Of noisy halls, banquets and revelry; Of battles lost and won, of fading crowns. Of tottering kingdoms and of falling thrones, Such awful scenes and tragedies unfold As make the heart to thrill, the blood run cold. Slight wonder Albion spoets sang so sweet. A mid these wrecks of grandenr, so replete With melancholy beauties. For sure, methinks, around these relics rude Must dwell the sweetest charms of solitude. There, wrapped in thought sublime, t Vimmortal Yo ng, And Milton too, in strains divinely sung; But where, oh !where is now the giddy throng. The voice of mirthful glee, the dance, the song.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
