Where Meadows Meet the Sea A Collection of Sea Songs and Pastoral Lays

""Where Meadows Meet the Sea"" is a delightful collection of sea songs and pastoral lays written by Harrison S. Morris. The book is a celebration of the beauty of the sea and the countryside, with the author's vivid descriptions bringing to life the sights, sounds, and smells of these two distinct environments. The sea songs are filled with the romance and adventure of life on the waves, while the pastoral lays capture the tranquility and simplicity of rural life. The book is a must-read for anyone who loves the sea and the countryside, and for those who enjoy poetry that celebrates the natural world. Morris' lyrical and evocative writing will transport readers to a world of rolling waves, sandy beaches, and verdant meadows, where the beauty of nature is celebrated in all its glory.1892. From an introductory passage: The poetry of the sea has been abundant in our century. Every great singer has essayed to express the deep but vague emotions aroused in us by the unanswering waters. Reveries, descriptions, pictures of fancy, dreams of imagination, stirring ballads, and matchless songs have been born of the mysterious influence. Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats; Tennyson, Browning, Swinburne, and Whitman, the beginning and the end of the last romantic period of song, with all the band of true poets between, have celebrated the sea in adequate verse; and even lesser bards have uttered memorable strains in its praise. It is, in truth, a perennial source of artistic inspiration and poetic charm, as it is a living element of human delight and health. Here, then, are gathered into a volume's space some of the sweetest and noblest of these songs of the ocean, commingled-as beach with sea-among pictures that open vistas and suggest beauties omitted in the less definite medium of the printed page.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
