Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of the Rev. H. F. Lyte The Rev. Henry Francis Lyte, M.A., who has secured worldwide renown as the author of ´Abide with Me´ and other famous hymns, was born at Ednam, near Kelso, in Scotland, of English parentage, on June 1, 1793. To the gracious influence of a good and talented mother must be attributed the honour of shaping the character and mind of her son, whose thoughts were ordained to influence and bless the world. Memories of his mother constantly proved a source of inspiration to goodness, and were sacred treasures in his soul to the very last. He wrote a poem entitled, ´On Dreaming of my Mother,´ by which we see how deeply her image was engraven on his soul. His father, who was a military officer, descended from an influential family in Somersetshire. It was at Protoro, in Ireland, that their famous son received instruction at school, being then nine years of age. At this early stage he acquitted himself with distinction under the tuition of Dean Burrows. Still, it is to be regretted that his early advantages were meagre. His natural abilities, however, were considerable. The difficulties and struggles of his early life created within him a spirit of determination and perseverance, without which he could not have secured the advantages which came to him later, and which carried him triumphantly through adversities which would have daunted most men. Ambitions of the noblest order moved his soul. In the poem ´Aspirations´ we are favoured with a glimpse of his magnificent spirit. At the age of nineteen he proceeded to Trinity College, Dublin, and from the first became recognized as a distinguished scholar and a popular friend.
