Excerpt from The Last of the Peshwas: A Tale of the Third Maratha War The Exile's Dream Our ship, as swift as the lightning flash, Clove with her prow the waves that dash Tumultuously with thunderous roar At midnight on an Indian shore, And those whereunder buried lie Busiris' Memphian chivalry. Then o'er the midland wavelets blue To Calpe's cannoned steep we flew, And in a moment southward far St. Vincent left and Trafalgar. Ah! joy to feel the northern blast That on our brows the snowflake cast, Till loomed a land of hodden gray Half-hidden by the Atlantic spray, Behind whose misty canopy Was heard the peewit's eerie cry. What magic ship thus bore my soul Like flash of lightning to her goal Across the seas that lay between? A dream of days that once had been. And what that land of hodden gray? The bonnie hills of Galloway, On which my steps no more may stray, For ever and aye. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
