Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The King of the Jews: A Poem
Though out of tune the lark and nightingale Who sing within this tomb of shard and shale Where rose and lily, wrought by artifice, Shroud Grief in cerements of pulseless bliss Bear with my rhymes until my soul has wrought A song divine in vigour, charm and thought.
