Excerpt from The Works of Mrs. Hemans, Vol. 4 of 6: With a Memoir of Her LifeEven as an eagle shakes the cumbering rain From his strong pinion. Thou that gavest me birth, And lineage, and once home, - my native Spain! My own bright land - my father's land - m y child's What hath thy son brought from thee to the wilds He hath brought marks of torture and the chain, Traces of things which pass not as a breeze.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
