Excerpt from Golden Nuggets, or Beautiful Thoughts in Prose and Verse: Carefully Chosen From the Literature of the World, Comprising "the Best Things" From the Best Authors, Arranged in Four Parts, Typifying the Four Seasons in the Life of ManWhat fate awaits thee in the coming strife, What joys, what triumphs in the growing years, What depths of woe and tears?I see thee lie Safe in thy silken cradle, sunk in down, Within thy father's palace-chambers fair, Thy guarded slumbers breathing tempered air, The soft eyes, full of yearning, watching by, Caressing arms waiting thy waking cry, All luxury and state which can assuage Life's painful heritage, l'he prayers of a people swell for thee Up to the careless skies which cover all. And yet it may be thine to fall Far from thy loved and native land, And end thy imperfect, innocent life-tale here, Forsaken on a savage desert strand, Pierced thro' and thro' by some barbarian Spear.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
