Title Poems
Credits This eText prepared by Brett Fishburne
Summary "Poems" by George P. Morris is a collection of poetry likely composed in the early 19th century. Highlighting themes such as love, nature, patriotism, and the human experience, the poems contain a mixture of emotional depth, musicality, and reflections on everyday life, showcasing Morris's lyrical talent and mastery of the form. The opening of the collection includes a brief yet insightful memoir about Morris himself, written by Horace Binney Wallace. It outlines his literary contributions and highlights his role as an influential figure in early American literature, often referred to as "The Song-Writer of America." This introduction sets the stage for the poems that follow, such as "The Deserted Bride," exploring themes of love and despair, and "Woodman, Spare That Tree," which expresses a deep affection for a cherished tree laden with memories. The initial verses reflect Morris's lyrical prowess and paint vivid pictures, inviting readers to engage with a rich tapestry of sentiments you would expect to find in the works of a pioneer in American poetry.
