Excerpt from Jordan Farms an Epic in HomespunLet him who loves a stern and rural tale, Told simply of stern, simple lives, give ear, Crouched on the grass of this old burial-ground, Where many an hour the butterflies and IWatched day unheeded glide to evening. HereMeet past and present, each memorial stoneLinks dead and living, makes us heirs of time'sGreat human treasure trove. A voice aroundGoes up as out of Dante's world of dead, Old love and hate and noble deeds unknown.In these two graves lie kinsmen, dust by dust.One woman loved them both, one rood of groundShall hold their bones till time forget its count, Yet Congo's heat and Greenland's frozen worldWere not more sundered than their lives and souls.And I, who never saw them, hearing longIn sad rehearsal tales that haunt the tomb, Mused near their graves in twilight's mellowing beam, Or drowsy noontide, till my thoughts communedWith them, or what they were.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
