Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Songs in the Night: Other Poems
The title of this little volume has been chosen from the circumstance that several of the poems here collected were originally suggested by passages in the Spiritual Canticles of St John of the Cross, whose use of the word Night, in a mystic sense, is too well known to require explanation. Where this has been the case, the particular passage is prefixed by way of motto, but (with the single exception of the Fountain of the Night) the poems are in no sense a version of the Spanish text. In one re spect, however, they follow its method, being for the most part written in the first person, as best fitted to convey the experience of each individual soul.
