Idyls And Rhymes (1855)

By Mortimer Collins

Book Overview

Idyls And Rhymes is a collection of poetry by Mortimer Collins, first published in 1855. The book is divided into two sections: the first contains a series of idyls, or pastoral poems, while the second features a variety of rhymes on a range of subjects. The idyls are set in rural England and depict scenes of country life, such as harvest time, village fairs, and the changing seasons. They are written in a simple, lyrical style that evokes the beauty of the natural world and the joys of a simpler way of life. The second section of the book contains a wide variety of rhymes, including humorous verses, satirical pieces, and more serious reflections on life and love. Many of the poems are written in a light and playful tone, but others are more contemplative and introspective. Overall, Idyls And Rhymes is a charming collection of poetry that captures the spirit of mid-19th century England. Collins' writing is marked by a love of nature, a keen sense of observation, and a talent for crafting memorable and evocative verses. The book remains a popular choice for lovers of poetry and fans of Victorian literature alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
