Belloc’s collected serious and comic poems open with a sequence of sonnets, beginning with a joyful homecoming to Gumber, the Weald and the valley of the Arun. Lyrics such as The South Country, Stanzas Written on Battersea Bridge and Courtesy follow, mixed with didactic verses, devotional poems and grotesque comedy.
