Poems for Five Seasons (The Gardener's Book of Verse, #1)

0/5 ( ratings)

This is a volume to delight all who love gardens - and poetry. Helen Van Pelt Wilson, well-known author of so many practical garden books, here turns to an anthology of her favorite nature poems by great poets of today and yesterday.

Originally collected for her own pleasure, over one hundred poems are grouped here to celebrate the season of the year - from Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" to poems of April rain, from "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" to the sadness of Keats's "To Autumn," ending with carols an poems for the cherished fifth season of Christmas.

A page of drawings and a biblical quotation introduce each of the five seasons, and many more drawings accompany poems on the crocus, daffodil, and rose, the owl and the swallow, the brook, the cloud, and the snowbound landscape.

Mrs. Wilson says of this book, "I often read poetry at night and mark my favorites with slips of paper. One day I realized that a nature anthology literally existed on my bookshelves. First had to come the agonies of deletion from the hundreds of poems I had marked, and then I found that the seasons would be my guide."

This little volume is a rare gift for all who share her pleasure in flowers, trees, woods, and weather and in the poets who have dwelt on the ever-changing face of nature.

Language: English

Pages: 128
