Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs From an Ulster Valley As I write I have before me a folio volume of typed poems bearing my name, which has never been published, and which I sincerely hope may never be published. Indeed, it is my intention to present it as a burnt offering to the High Muses on some suitable occasion. I have also within reach of my hand sufficient verse to prove me a poet, if sheer bulk were the test of merit. But I have gone through this mass of verse, written in early youth, and have rejected all, save three pieces, Memento Mori, Child Rowland, and To a Mother. From the poems written in later years, I have selected those which seem to be worthy of selection. This explanation will serve to show on what principle the present edition of collected poems has been formed. Though I had been writing verse for twenty-five years, I offered none of my poems to the public until 1917, when a rather exquisite edition was produced at his own risk by a Dublin publisher. To his surprise and my own the entire edition of five hundred copies was sold out within two months. But as the sale of this first poetical venture was confined to Ireland, I have hopes that the present collected edition may be as kindly received.
