Book Description
Excerpt from The Broken Vow, and Other Poems The spell of song is on me, and the lyre The heart's own music pours, but not to thee, O earthly Fame, shall the glad offering be, w Higher than this my spirit shall aspire, For 0 what art thou but a fleeting breath Bought by a weary life or early death! Sweeter to me the thought, in after days, Cherished in loving hearts my name shall live, Than blazoned on thy rolls, a theme of praise 'mong those who oft but hollow flattery give. Therefore these powers of mine thou shalt not claim, For I will lay them on a holier shrine, Whose sacred fires burn with celestial flame, Father in heaven! On thine, and only thine!

Excerpt from Gerard's Monument: And Other Poems Cause of Charles the First, yielded up his life in 1650, at the battle of vvigan. 1h Pagham harbour, which was formed by an irruption of the sea in the early part of the fourteenth century, there is a spot known to the fishing population of the coast, as the Hushing Strange and weird noises may be heard issuing as from the sea, when the tide is high 3 while at low water, the air may be felt rushing through the shingle, as if to supply the void made in some large cavity beneath, by the withdrawal of the tide. It is here that the goldsmith has been supposed to be labouring in atonement of his broken vow. Having thought it expedient to address her public in her own person thus far, the author feels it would be abrupt to stop here. If the half of a jest lies in the ear of him who hears it, so a book, as a book, can scarcely be said to exist, before it has found a recipient Public. The author therefore commends her work to the sympathy of the reader; whom, under all condi. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Defence of the Bride: And Other Poems The Defence of the Bride. He was coming from the altar when the tocsin rang alarm, With his fair young wife beside him, lovely in her bridal charm; But he was not one to palter with a duty, or to slight The trumpet-call of honor for his vantage or delight. Turning from the bride beside him to his stern and martial train, From their midst he summoned to him the brothers of Germain; At the word they stepped before him, nine strong warriors, brave and true, From the youngest to the eldest, Enguerrand to mighty Hugh. "Sons of Germain, to your keeping do I yield my bride to-day. Guard her well as you do love me; guard her well and holily. Dearer than mine own soul to me, you will hold her as your life, 'Gainst the guile of seeming friendship and the force of open strife."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Covenant and Other Poems I have been deeply interested in reading the Covenant and Other Poems by my friend, Dr. Louis Smirnow. I am glad that he has collected these verses into a volume, for they show genuine feeling, imaginative power, and consider able metrical skill. What interests me particularly in these verses is their point of view; they are born of white-hot conviction, and are filled with true passion, a passion that in itself appears like a religion, and that speaks for and defends a race. It is exceedingly instructive to me, and it ought to be to many others, to enter into the spirit of these poems, and see how Dr. Smirnow is in a way the spokesman of thousands of people who no doubt think and feel in the manner expressed in this book.
