A memoir of the Charleston poet opens this collection of his lyrics, from ‘Spring’ and ‘The Cotton Boll’ to courtship poems, serenades and elegies. Timrod, who died young and poor in 1867, wrote many of his best-known pieces in support of the Confederacy, and they are printed here alongside his nature poems.
Musical, melancholy verse by the poet called the laureate of the Confederacy; its wartime poems champion the Southern cause. Download the free EPUB.
