Description
Poems is a volume of verse by Elinor Jenkins, published by Sidgwick and Jackson at London in 1915. The dedication, dated 15 August 1915, offers sad flowers from a bitter harvest field in place of frankincense or gems. The opening poem is a requiem for a dead friend, and The Dead Comrade follows.
Many poems answer the war then raging. Titles include Night in the Suburbs, August 1914, The Battle of the Rivers, and A Legend of Ypres. One poem marks Rupert Brooke in April 1915, and another asks a question about tears. Poppyfields, an epitaph on a child buried abroad, and poems of moonlight and waking fill out the wartime garland.
