Lawrence’s second book of poems, published in 1913, moves from a bride waiting on her wedding morning and kisses in a train to cherry robbers, lilies in the fire and the chill that settles between lovers. Other poems turn to a gang of labourers at a railway siding, school days and the Midlands landscape, some in the dialect of his home.
Raw, vivid early work from a major modern poet, for readers who know Lawrence only as a novelist. Download the free EPUB.
