Corn-Flowers
A Collection of Poems
“The Corn-flower opens as the sheaves are rife;
Song is the twin of golden Contemplation,
The Harvest-flower of life.”
Book I Note
Most of the Poems in this First Book have been recently composed, and hitherto unpublished; and those which have appeared before, have been, some materially altered, all carefully revised.
In the Second Book some Poems were written in early life, and have been but little altered; others—chiefly of a more thoughtful character—are of later date, and are now printed for the first time.
