About This Item
[?London] no printer, no publisher 1870. A poem printed on a single leaf, a broadside or possibly a proof (though without page number), but apparently a "one-off," measuring 253 x 128 mms., printed on one side only, and dated Dec. 9th, 1870. The poem is in five unequal stanzas, with the last line of each stanza printed in italics. It begins: "Boom, death smit lily pale/ Blood red;/Thy Stem is snapt, thy frail/ Fair leaves are shed...." The poetry of Dorothy [Dora] Greenwell (1821 - 1882) seems to have gone up in critical estimation since the days when her volumes could be found on the sixpenny shelves in Edinburgh's second-bookshops in the 1960s. She published her first volume of poems in 1858 and several others followed. I have not been able to find this poem in editions of work published after December 1870.
