THE DANUBE RIVER, by C. HAMILTON AIDE First Line: Do you recall that night in june Last Line: Adown the danube river. Subject(s): Danube (river) | |||
Do you recall that night in June, Upon the Danube river? We listen'd to a Landler tune, We watch'd the moonbeams quiver. I oft since then have watch'd the moon, But never, love, oh! never, Can I forget that night in June, Adown the Danube river. Our boat kept measure with its oar, The music rose in snatches, From peasants dancing on the shore With boisterous songs and catches. I know not why that Landler rang Through all my soul -- but never Can I forget the songs they sang Adown the Danube river. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BISHOP BRUNO by ROBERT SOUTHEY THE FRONTIER GUARD by ANTON ALEXANDER VON AUERSPERG DANUBE AND THE EUXINE by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN EN TOUR; A SONG SEQUENCE: 2.
