Collected Poems 1901-1918 in Two Volumes Volume II.

Collected Poems 1901-1918 in Two Volumes Volume II by Walter de la Mare ushers listeners into a world of childhood wonder, twilight reverie, and quiet hauntings rendered in exquisite lyric poetry. This second volume gathers poems composed between 1901 and 1918—among them the celebrated "Songs of Childhood"—and showcases De la Mare’s gift for mood, melody, and the uncanny. Across pastoral scenes, nursery-lullabies, and dreamlike fables, De la Mare explores memory, the passage from innocence to experience, and the thin boundary between the familiar and the supernatural. His early-20th-century verse balances Victorian sensibilities with emergent modernist tones: delicate formal rhythms, vivid natural imagery, and an undercurrent of melancholy shaped by the era’s shifting world. Whether evoking fairies and bluebells or quiet funerals and haunted portraits, the poems are intimate, musical, and eerily tender. Perfect for poetry lovers, students of British verse, and anyone seeking restful, evocative listening, this audiobook offers a timeless companion for bedtime, study, or reflective walks. Listen for the hush of the old world and the small, resonant mysteries that make De la Mare’s lyric poetry unforgettable.
