E.; ""The Hills of Cualann"" by Joseph Campbell; ""An Old Woman of the Roads"" by Padraic Colum; ""In the Poppy Field"" by James Stephens; and many others.Also included is a generous sampling of memorable works by lesser known poets: ""Lament for Thomas Davis"" by Samuel Ferguson; Dion Boucicault's ""The Wearing of the Green""; ""The Wee Lassie's First Luve"" by G. F. Savage-Armstrong; Francis A. Fahy's ""Little Mary Cassidy""; Sidney Royse Lysaght's ""The Penalty of Love""; and many more, including the anonymous ""A Confession of Forgiveness,"" ""Pearl of the White Beast,"" and ""Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye.""Students, teachers, and all poetry lovers will cherish this fine collection and its diverse cross-section of Irish poetry, from the seventh century to modern times.
