TEE KITES of olden times, as well as the Swans, had the privilege of song. Banners yellow, glorious, golden, On its roof did float and flow,(This -- all this -- was in the olden Time long ago,) And every gentle air that dallied, In that sweet day, Along the ramparts plumed and pallid, A winged odour went away. In olden times an eagle swooped down upon the New England coast, and carried off an infant Indian in his talons. |
