Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John Struthers, Vol. 2: With Autobiography
Although not now the lofty Lark,
Rising 'tween the light and dark,
Wildly warbling through the skies,
Call the ruddy Morn to rise,
With her tresses bathed in dew;
Grey clouds, thin, around her wreathing,
Fragrance on the light winds breathing,
Nature's glories to renew:
Still, 'tis sweet her wilds to tread,
Though their breathing bloom is fled.
Now, t' escape the pain of thinking,
From the wintry tempest shrinking,
'Mid the city's smoke and noise,
Fickle fashion's sickly race,
Happiness may vainly chase,
Amid fantastic joys.

The Poetical Works of John Struthers, Vol. 2: With Autobiography
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a beautiful and epic poem, follows the seasonal rhythms of nature and rural life in the Scottish countryside. The author draws on his own experiences and the work of earlier writers to create a vivid and immersive portrait of country life and its impact on the people who live there. The hardships of winter, the joy of spring, the abundance of summer and the ethereal beauty of autumn are lovingly rendered, along with the toil and rhythms of human labor across the seasons. However, this book is more than a picturesque ramble through woodland and eld; it also grapples with the social and economic pressures of the time, painting a vivid picture of the impact of the enclosure movement and industrial revolution on rural life. In so doing, the author invites us to consider the beauty and value of the natural world, as well as the importance of preserving our connection to the land and to rural culture in the face of relentless 'progress'. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
