The Poetical Works of Fitz-Greene Halleck (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Fitz-Greene Halleck
A gentle hill its side inclines, Lovely in England's fadeless green, To meet the quiet stream which winds Through this romantic scene As silently and sweetly still, As when, at evening, on that hill, W'hile summer's wind blew soft and Seated by gallant Hotspur's side, His Katherine was a happy bride, A thousand years ago.
Gaze on the Abbey's ruined pile Does not the succoring ivy, keeping Her watch around it, seem to smile, As o'er a loved one sleeping? One solitary turret gray Still tells, in melancholy glory, The legend of the Cheviot day, The Percy's proudest border story. That day its roof was triumph's arch Then rang, from aisle to pictured dome.
