Description:Excerpt from The City of Success: And Other PoemsWhere a river hastens down, Stands an often-wished-for town, In the azure of the mountains, on a broad and level vale. Peaks of peace above it rise To the ever -smiling skies, And its air is not invaded by the armies of the gale.Round the city stands a wall, Where the watchmen clearly call The ﬂying hours, that speed away, with winged, in constant feet, And, throughout the gilded place, The palatial dwellings face On cool-fountained' park and garden, and on pleasure seeking street.Sparsely-populated stands This, the pride of all the lands In temple-crowned magnificence, the City of Success For, tho all men strive full well, In its worldly halls to dwell, Few even reach the roads to it, through bitter strain and stress.This fair city has great gates, And at each a dragon waits, huge, unsated, Open jaws, with Sharp misfortune fanged. High upon the barbacan Floats hope's banner, dear to man; vainly are the throng without from those proud walls harangued.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
