About this book
Poems of Henry Timrod; with Memoir gathers poems by Henry Timrod together with a memoir. The contents list the poems Spring, The Cotton Boll and A Year's Courtship, among others. A poem addressed to Harry says there is no lasting grief below that flows not from guilt, and that God is no tyrant who would spread unnumbered dainties to the eyes, yet teach the hungering child to dread that touching them he dies.
The text says the poet's mother was the daughter of Mr. Charles Prince, a citizen of Charleston, whose parents had come from England just before the Revolution. A poem speaks of a story hidden with the pain, which since that blue October night when Willie vanished from our sight must haunt us even in our sleep. A piece headed Some Truths There Be Are Better Left Unsaid says some truths there be are better left unsaid, and that much is there that we may not speak unblamed.
