By the same Author. SONGS OF TWO WORLDS. FIRST SERIES. SECOND EDITION. "These poems will assuredly take high rank among the class to which they belong."-British Quarterly Review, April 1st. "No extracts could do justice to the exquisite tones, the felicitous phrasing and delicately wrought harmonies of some of these poems."Nonconformist. "A purity and delicacy of feeling like morning air."-Graphic. SONGS OF TWO WORLDS.· SECOND SERIES. SECOND EDITION. Fcap. 8vo, 5s. "In earnestness and sweetness the author may be pronounced a worthy disciple of Henry Vaughan. . . Instinct with a noble purpose and high ideal... The most noteworthy poem is the Ode on a Spring Morning,' which has somewhat of the charm of 'L'Allegro' and 'Il Penseroso.' It is the nearest approach to a masterpiece in the collection. We cannot find too much praise for its noble assertion of man's resurrection."-Saturday Review. "A real advance on its predecessor, and contains at least one poem ('The Organ Boy') of great originality, as well as many of much beauty.. . As exquisite a little poem as we have read for many a day but not at all alone in its power to fascinate."-Spectator. "Will be gratefully welcomed."—Examiner. HENRY S. KING & Co., LONDON. SONGS OF TWO WORLDS (THIRD SERIES) BY A NEW WRITER Μηδὲν ἄγαν. HENRY S. KING & Co. 65 CORNHILL, AND 12 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON 1875 280. n. 310 PREFACE. THE writer fulfils in the present volume the promise made in the last,—of a third and concluding series of "Songs of Two Worlds." The result of his former attempts hardly leaves him, as he could wish, at liberty to bring his contributions to English verse to a definite close. But to become a voluminous verse-writer is so far from his desire, that the chance of his writing no more is at least sufficiently great to warrant him in bidding his many unknown friends a cordial, though perhaps not a final, farewell. |
