Cape Cod Ballads and Other Verse: Large Print Joseph Crosby Lincoln Where leap the long Atlantic swells In foam-streaked stretch of hill and dale, Where shrill the north-wind demon yells, And flings the spindrift down the gale; Where, beaten 'gainst the bending mast, The frozen raindrop clings and cleaves, With steadfast front for calm or blast His battered schooner rocks and heaves. To same the gain, to some the loss, To each the chance, the risk, the fight: For men must die that men may live-- Lord, may we steer our course aright.. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
