Publisher's Synopsis
Lays of Ancient Israel is a book of poetry written by Hugh McSorley and originally published in 1869. The poems are inspired by the stories and legends of ancient Israel, including tales from the Old Testament. The book includes poems about famous figures like King David, Samson, and Ruth, as well as stories about the Israelites' struggles and triumphs.
