England Over Seas

"England Over Seas" by Lloyd Roberts is a poetic journey through the heart of early 20th-century England. It captures the powerful relationship between the nation and its natural surroundings, evoking a profound yearning for the tranquil beauty of the countryside and its ever-changing seasons. The contrast between the peaceful rural scenes and the dynamic city life is a theme that brings forth a sense of nostalgia for a simpler, more nature-connected existence. With poems like "England's Fields," the author paints vivid pictures of English landscapes, rich in greenery and floral abundance. Poems like "The Homesteader" and "Husbands Over Seas" touch upon personal connections to England, the unstoppable march of time, and the joy found in life's simple moments, all set against the backdrop of the natural world. Through the use of personification, giving voice to winds and birds, the poems strike emotional chords, awakening a sense of freedom and celebrating the unbreakable link between individuals and their beloved homeland.
