Wilfrid Meynell, the editor who rescued Thompson from destitution, introduces this selection with a biographical note. The poems on children, such as Daisy, The Poppy and To Monica Thought Dying, are followed by passages from Sister Songs, love poems and the dense, ecstatic religious verse for which Thompson is best known.
An excellent introduction to one of the most intense religious poets of the late Victorian age. Download the free EPUB.
