lorelei king - oliver wendell holmes - prologue كلمات أغنية

the piping of our slender, peaceful reeds
whispers uncared for while the trumpets bray;
song is thin air; our hearts’ exulting play
beats time but to the tread of marching deeds
following the mighty van that freedom leads
her glorious standard flaming to the day!
the crimsoned pavement where a hero bleeds
breathes n0bler lessons than the poet’s lay
strong arms, broad br__sts, brave hearts, are better worth
than strains that sing the ravished echoes dumb
hark! ‘t is the loud reverberating drum
rolls o’er the prairied west, the rock_bound north
the myriad_handed future stretches forth
its shadowy palms. behold, we come,__we come!

turn o’er these idle leaves. such toys as these
were not unsought for, as, in languid dreams
we lay beside our lotus_feeding streams
and nursed our fancies in forgetful ease
it matters little if they pall or please
dropping untimely, while the sudden gleams
glare from the mustering clouds whose blackness seems
too swollen to hold its lightning from the trees
yet, in some lull of passion, when at last
these calm revolving moons that come and go__
turning our months to years, they creep so slow__
have brought us rest, the not unwelcome past
may flutter to thee through these leaflets, cast
on the wild winds that all around us blow

- lorelei king
