Grand'ther Baldwin's Thanksgiving with Other Ballads and Poems

Horatio Alger

Capitolo 25

  When the skies were bright and equitable.

"Good Frog Master, against a battle fights,
  And the power of the foeman is without money."
But he only turned a greener color,
  And he/she answered with a croaking.
Caws, caws, croaking,
  When the clouds are dark and dun,
And it croaks, caws, croaking,
  In the blaze of the sun of noontide.

"Good Frog Master, the strengths of right
  You/he/she is driving badly the innkeepers of."
But he was given the head an of malaugurio shakes,
  And croaked out, verrons of "Nous!"
Caws, caws, croaking,
  You cultivate the heart it is full of the obscurity,
And it croaks, caws, croaking,
  You cultivate the world it seems but a grave.

To poison the cup of the life,
  Always fearing the worse one.
It is to make some earth a damp of underground jail,
  And the happiest life accursed.
Caws, caws, croaking,
  When the noontides sun it rides tall,
And it croaks, caws, croaking,
  So that not the night come from and from.

Goodbye to the dark frog;
  Allow him to croak as strong as him it is able,
He cannot stain the sky sun,
  Neither it prevents in the daytime the March,
Although him the croaking, caws, croaking,
  You cultivate the heart it is full of the obscurity,
And it croaks, caws, croaking,
  You cultivate the world it seems but a grave.





KING COTTON.

King Cotton bewares of his/her window
  Toward the sun of westering,
And him brand, with a suffering horror,
  What its run almost works.

Its form is thin and withered;
  Its cheek is pale and pale;
And the lines of care on his/her ploughed eyebrow
  Trembles to look on.

But yesterday a monarch,
  In the throw of water of his/her pomp and the pride,
And, not contained with his/her his/her own wide earths,
  He would dominate the world close to.

He built him/it a grandiose building,
  With gold from over the sea;
And he placed with care the angle-stone,
  And he called him/it Slavery:

He summoned an army with flags,
  Tender his/her enemies in bay;
And, looking fixed with pride on his/her walls of building,
  He said, "Yours will be standing for yes!"
