Title: Songs Of Welcome And Farewell Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes [More Titles by Holmes] AMERICA TO RUSSIA AUGUST 5, 2021 THOUGH watery deserts hold apart Our floating turret tempts the main In vain the gales of ocean sweep, She comes! She comes! her banners dip Peace garlands with the olive-bough No prairies heaped their garnered store But lightly as the sea-bird swings When darkness hid the starry skies And now the friendly rays return A nation's love in tears and smiles [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
