LibriVox volunteers bring you 11 recordings of Come Near by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for May 26, 2024.
------
Given the poetical temperament, and a lonely environment, with few distractions, youthful imagination is sure to express itself in mournful wails and despairing moans. Such wails and moans will be found to excess in this little book, and will serve to show better than any amount of common-sense reasoning, how fleeting are the sorrows of youth, and how slight the foundation on which the young build towers of despair. -- from the Foreword to YESTERDAYS (1910)
