Author Description

Excerpt from Sybelle: And Other Poems That such sweet bloom and minstrelsy In lonely woodland wilds Should be. Softly he kneels, and soft has pressed The wild rose to his lips, his breast, And smiled to see the wondrous glow His kisses on the ower bestow. He speaks some tender passing word The thrush has in the thicket heard; Its plaintive, spring-born lays are stilled, By some strange power its breast is thrilled, And 10! The wildwood depths along, Rolls the full summer tide Of song. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
