Читать книгу Through Five Republics on Horseback, Being an Account of Many Wanderings in South America - George Whitfield Ray - Страница 8

The country to which the author first went as a self-supporting missionary in the year 1889.

And Nature, the old nurse, took

The child upon her knee,

Saying, "Here is a story book

Thy Father hath written for thee."

"Come, wander with me," she said,

"Into regions yet untrod,

And read what is still unread

In the manuscripts of God."

And he wandered away and away

With Nature, the dear old nurse,

Who sung to him night and day

The rhymes of the universe.

—Longfellow.
