Book Description
Excerpt from Old Glory: And Other War Poems A loan for liberty, like love, repays Both borrower and lender wealth untold; And bread on waters cast, in future days Returns the righteous giver many fold; Thus we have come, to face a common foe And pay you, Lafayette and Rochambeau. We borrowed you against a time of need; And in behalf of liberty you came, Inspiring us by your heroic deed, Your only recompense undying fame; Now France needs bread, shall we return a stone? No, God forbid! Instead we pay our loan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
