Opening with a poem written on the day of Queen Victoria’s funeral, this collection salutes the Englishman, Canada and the empire, then turns to love, the sea, India and spiritual questions. Wilcox’s verse is direct, rhythmic and earnest, including a long poem in which a divine voice laments what is done in its name.
Popular verse from the American poet of Solitude, marked by the Anglophile imperial mood of the early 1900s. Download the free EPUB.
