Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Original Poems, Ballads and Tales in Verse for Reading and Recitation The following pages contain a collection of poems, ballads, songs, and stories in verse, contributed to papers, magazines, and books during thirty years, together with others which have not previously appeared in print. They are not the product of learned leisure or sylvan calm. They are the outcome of vocal moments in working hours passed amid the hurly-burly of London life by one whose first playground was the open space in front of the Royal Exchange and whose earliest experience of the country was a visit to the Temple Gardens. Some of the pieces were occasional, as the verses "To Alfred the Great," which appeared in The Daily Chronicle on the day upon which Lord Rosebery unveiled the statue at Winchester, and the lines "To Mary Shakespeare," written for Shakespeare´s birthday and first printed in an illustrated booklet entitled "In Shakespeare´s Country." Two or three pieces are modern versions of old songs and ballads, as "The Fairin"´ and T"he Winning of Cales," and many of the shorter pieces were written for music.
