Thomas Kibble Hervey: Frases em inglês

“Wake, soldier, wake, thy war-horse waits
To bear thee to the battle back;
Thou slumberest at a foeman’s gates,—
Thy dog would break thy bivouac;
Thy plume is trailing in the dust
And thy red falchion gathering rust.”

And his blood was thin and old.”

And listened to a lute,
One summer’s eve, when the breeze was gone,
And the nightingale was mute.”

With streamers afloat and with canvas unfurled,
All gladness and glory to wandering eyes,
Yet chartered by sorrow and freighted with sighs.”
