Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treasury of Bird Poems This volume is, as its title declares, "A Treasury of Bird Poems." As in every Treasury there will be found things new and old, so in this poetical collection are poems of intrinsic value, bearing the hall-mark of universal approbation, others mediocre, yet which, on account of their popularity, sentimentality or even ancientness, could hardly be omitted from a work of this nature. Hence to pass over Poe´s "Raven," "The Jackdaw of Rheims," or "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," familiar as they are to most readers of English poetry, would be deemed unpardonable. Lovers of the archaic would regard the work as deficient if no mention were made of Dunbar´s "Merle and Nightingale" or Chaucer´s "Parliament of Birds." No test then can be laid down for the selection of poems of any anthology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
