A happy New Year, and other verses

"A Happy New Year, and other verses" by Charles Edward de la Poer Beresford is a compilation of poems from the early 1900s that touches on topics like love, the natural world, historical events, and thoughtful contemplation. Born out of the Edwardian age, a time of big shifts in society and culture, the collection includes pieces offering New Year’s greetings to different people, explores historical romance, and touches on cultural feelings. "The Fisherman’s Dream" blends the beauty of old stories with the hopes of a simple fisherman. With its range of subjects and writing styles, this collection paints a picture of the emotions, landscapes, and cultural feelings of the early 20th century through poetic expression.
