The Harp On The Willows

The Harp On The Willows: Or Poetry On Miscellaneous Grave Subjects is a collection of poems written by James Hird and published in 1834. The book contains a variety of poems on serious and somber topics such as death, grief, and the afterlife. The title of the book is taken from a biblical passage in which exiled Israelites hang their harps on the willow trees by the rivers of Babylon. Hird's poems reflect on the human condition and the struggles and sorrows that come with it. The language used in the poems is often lyrical and emotive, with a focus on conveying deep emotions and sentiments. The book is an example of 19th-century poetry that explores serious and philosophical themes, and it remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
