Salute to Adventurers【電子書籍】[ John Buchan ]

   

 


 

 


<p> I tell of old Virginian ways;<br /> And who more fit my tale to scan<br /> Than you, who knew in far-off days<br /> The eager horse of Sheridan;<br /> Who saw the sullen meads of fate,<br /> The tattered scrub, the blood-drenched sod,<br /> Where Lee, the greatest of the great,<br /> Bent to the storm of God?</p> <p> I tell lost tales of savage wars;<br /> And you have known the desert sands,<br /> The camp beneath the silver stars,<br /> The rush at dawn of Arab bands,<br /> The fruitless toil, the hopeless dream,<br /> The fainting feet, the faltering breath,<br /> While Gordon by the ancient stream<br /> Waited at ease on death.</p> <p> And now, aloof from camp and field,<br /> You spend your sunny autumn hours<br /> Where the green folds of Chiltern shield<br /> The nooks of Thames amid the flowers:<br /> You who have borne that name of pride,<br /> In honour clean from fear or stain,<br /> Which Talbot won by Henry's side<br /> In vanquished Aquitaine.<br /> The reader is asked to believe that most of the characters in this tale and many of the incidents have good historical warrant. The figure of Muckle John Gib will be familiar to the readers of Patrick Walker.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
