Excerpt from The Man of Uz, and Other Poems The gathering back Of scattered flowrets to the household wreath. Brothers and sisters from their sever'd homes Meeting with ardent smile, to renovate The love that sprang from cradle memories And Childhood's sports, and whose perennial stream Still threw fresh crystals o'er the sands of life. - Each bore some treasured picture of the past, Some graphic incident, by mellowing time Made beautiful, while ever and anon, Timbrel and harp broke forth, each pause betw'een. Banquet and wine-cup, and the dance, gave Speed To youthful spirits, and prolong'd the joy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
