Book Description

Excerpt from Wordsworth's Grave: And Other Poems For kind permission to reprint "Wordsworth's Grave," "Ver Tenebrosum," and "England to Ireland," my thanks are due to the Editors of the National Review and the Spectator. I have omitted from "Ver Tenebrosum" one sonnet which seemed coloured by party passion to its distinct detriment as poetry. There may possibly be others which lay themselves open to the same charge, but I have found it difficult to exclude them without disturbing the general coherence of the body of verse to which they belong. Twenty "Epigrams" are transferred to these pages from a former volume of mine, which, from the circumstance of its merely provincial publication, and the fact of its having found few readers, I have thought a legitimate source to lay under contribution.
