About this book
A Midsummer Holiday and Other Poems is a collection of poems by Algernon Charles Swinburne. The contents list names, among others, The Seaboard, A Haven, On a Country Road and The Mill Garden as parts of A Midsummer Holiday. A poem repeats the line Our father Chaucer, here we praise thy name.
A poem calls Time a sweet father of such blameless pleasure and a false friend who takes his gifts away, and asks it to spare some scantlings of the treasure. A poem speaks of a witness that comes and endures for ever, till men be brethren and thralls be free.
