The Hamlet On The Hill; And Other Poems

By William Henry Phipps

Book Overview

High on a quiet hill stands a hamlet of memory, conscience and song. Each poem rewards unrushed reading. In William H. Phipps's 'The Hamlet on the Hill; and Other Poems', the modest span of village life opens onto the largeness of the human heart. This classic poetry collection gathers narrative and lyrical poems that linger over nature and countryside scenes, the turn of the seasons, the ache of parting and the calm of hard-won faith. As an English verse anthology from the classic era, it unites storytelling, meditation and song in clear, musical lines that still feel intimate and alive. Readers will find spiritual and moral verse beside tender love and reflection poetry, all steeped in English language rural poetry that will resonate with fans of Tennyson and lovers of Longfellow. More than local sketches, these classic era English poems offer a window into the values, doubts and quiet devotions of another age, while speaking with surprising freshness to our own. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, 'The Hamlet on the Hill; and Other Poems' has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure - it is ideal for classic poetry lovers, a thoughtful gift for poetry readers, and a handsome addition to any serious library of English verse.
