Excerpt from The Song of Stradella: And Other Songs A Dream of Shakespeare's Women [As read by Miss Julia Marlowe] In fair Virginia's heart there is a wood Where still the deer in careless freedom roams, All night the owl, from 'neath his friar hood, Daunts with grim stare, the ever-wanton gnomes. A sombre scene by night, but when bright dawn With mellow sunshine fills this garden spot, When sweet birds sing, and leaps the gentle fawn, It seems, on earth, a fairer place is not. 'Twas here a child of song had chanced to stray, All night hed wooed his worshipped Muse in vain, And now the beauty that around him lay Gladdened his heart and soothed his tired brain. "Oh, not in Arden was a lovelier wood, " He said, "And it would truly perfect be, If but Orlando's fair one only could Come forth and give me her sweet company!" His tired head upon the moss was laid, But ere his flagging senses sunk to rest About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
