Description:

**There are many Poetry Compilations and this is one of the better ones. I have a huge collection of old books, all of which contain hidden gems, this little book, only 159 pages, is 159 pages of little gems from the wonderful William Allingham to W.B. Yeats himself. Of course if you have Allingham you have got to have Alfred Noyes, I think I have every poem of these two valuable assets to reading. The other day I had a wonderful comment about some of my old additions, mainly ones from the 19th century and wow what a great feeling. It is wonderful to have these sites where the world can read what has been gifted to us for centuries. Great help was given by Katharine Tynan another great writer, who contributed the first poem to this anthology with DAFFODIL, my garden is full of daffodils and being Welsh myself it is a beautiful poem. Take care.

LEARNIN' Labour for learnin' afore ye grow old, For learnin' is better nor silver and gold! Silver and gold it will vanish away, But learnin' itself it will never decay, And a man without learnin' wearin' good clothes Is like a gold ring in a pig's nose. Absolutely wonderful don't you think?****strong text**
