Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cleveland Nights
From certain cultured homes in Cleveland town, To Erie's blue, historic waves came down Three youthful couples, in the month of June, To spend in Gordon Park an afternoon. They came to breathe awhile the perfect air That winds from off the lake keep ever there, And after they had sauntered two by two, Laughing and jesting, as young people do, 'cross grove-encircled lawns, through glen and glade, In broad walks darkened by the oak trees' shade, They reached the shore, and under willow trees Sat talking, charmed by birds, the deep, the breeze. Northward they saw the blue waves meet the sky And laughed to see fish leap and catch a fly; Themselves oft caught by water-fowl that o'er The waters ev'ry summer fishing soar. Eastward they looked; still rolled the waters blue Save where a point of land hid their view. Mere sand and trees, but distance, lake, and sun, Made it appear a scene by magic done.
