Harvest Scenes Of The World Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Harvest: A Melange Relating to Brooklyn City in Particular and to the World Generally The oyster merchant paused at morn, and taking out his purse, Gave fifty dollars to his wife to be the week's resource. Then, having kissed her tenderly, he said Dear wife, good day Bear light my absence, love, till I come back from Oyster Bay. 'twas hard to part, and down his cheek there went a briny rill And Catherine weeping too, replied I will, my love, I will. He took the tiller in his hand. The breeze blew fair that day, Nor long 'twas till his anchor's fluke took hold in Oyster Bay. By set of sun, his work was done his hold was freighted well, And as his sail swelled with the breeze, he felt his bosom swell. 'o breeze! He said, speed on ahead and breathe in Catherine's ear, Thy doting lord is on his way and shortly will be here. He came, he saw, ah not the scene his ardent fancy drew His house was closed, his spouse was gone and all his money too. And now he stays, poor lonely man, attending to a tap, And tells to every friend that comes, the tale of his mishap. And some he finds who show for him a sympathy sincere, And tears flow fast as they converse, and so does - lager beer.
