Book Description
Excerpt from So This Then Is the Battle of Waterloo Here was a sound of rev elry by night, And Belgium's capital had gathered there Her Beauty and her Chiv alry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men; A thousand hearts beat hap pily; and when Music arose with its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage-bell; But hush! Hark! A deep sound strikes like a rising knell! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
