Sir Henry Parkes Wrong Poems
- 1. The Beauteous Terrorist
Soft as the morning's pearly light,
Where yet may rise the thunder-cloud,
Her gentle face was ever bright
With noble thought and purpose proud.
... - 2. Fatherland
THE BRAVE old land of deed and song,
Of gentle hearts and spirits strong,
Of queenly maids and heroes grand,
Of equal laws,â??our Fatherland!
... - 3. Weary
WEARY of the ceaseless war
Beating down the baffled soul,â??
Thoughts that like a scimitar
Smite us fainting at the goal.
