Excerpt from The Posie; An Elegant Selection of the Most Popular Songs, Duets, and Glees, Vol. 1: Now Sung at the Musical Festivals, Fashionable Assemblies, Theatres, and Concerts Composed by \v. Dimond, and Sung by Miss M. Tree and Miss Stephens. Lusu. By M. Kelly. He comes from the wars, from the red field Of fight, He comes through the storm and the darkness of night, For rest and for refuge now fain to implore, The warrior bends low at the cottager's door. Pale, pale is his cheek, there's a gash on his brow, His locks O'er his shoulders distractedly flow, And the fire Of his heart Shoots by fits from his eye. Like a languishing lamp that just flashes to die. Rest, warrior, rest - rest, warrior, rest! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
