Charis: English Verses

About this book

There is no song that travelleth The highway between Life and Death, But stops twixt night-fall and to-morrow At the old inns of Joy and Sorrow. THE following collection of verses consists of material not before published in English. As will be readily perceived, a few of the pieces are (a free) translation into English from what had appeared before in the little bundle “Spiegel der Natuur.” The majority, however, are English-born. Perhaps it is not out of place to add, that the small appendix added to “Spiegel der Natuur” under the title “Lyra Anglica” has not been incorporated in the present volume.
