Excerpt from Dreams of the Ages: A Poem of ColumbiaTwo suitors wooed her as she sat alone, In virgin solitude of tangled bowers, Dreaming of lands and peoples all unknown, Decked with spring ¿owers.Before her swept broad rivers, at her right The basking prairies and the boundless wood, Upon her left proud plateaus, height on height, Supremely stood.Around her, like an arm, the glittering zone Of inland ocean, set with emerald isles, Where, heedless of the frost-king on his throne, The pink peach smiles.One came from out the West, lithe-limbed was Proud in possession of a thousand years, Imperious, passionate, scorning man's decree, Fearless of fears.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
