Here the English lyric finds its purest voice. Poetry that sings of feeling. In this classic poetry collection, Ernest Rhys gathers brief, crystalline songs of the heart and mind, offering a rich english poetry anthology of romantic love poetry, nature inspired poetry and emotional introspective verse. From the hush of solitary landscapes to the quickened pulse of first desire, these pages trace the many moods of the British lyric tradition, inviting slow reading, re-reading and reflection. Ideal for quiet evenings and shared aloud, it speaks both to new readers and to long-time lovers of verse. Rhys, renowned editor of early twentieth-century poetry series and a devoted champion of accessible literature, arranges the work with an instinct for cadence and contrast that highlights the evolution of song from Romantic intensity to the poise of Victorian era poets. The result is a romantic poets anthology that feels intimate yet spacious, a touchstone for poetry students seeking models of pure lyric form and a thoughtful gift for poetry lovers who cherish words that linger in the ear. Echoes of Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats and their kin sound throughout, placing each piece within a living continuum of classic lyric poetry. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
