About This Book

A collection of lyric poems that moves between intimate reflections on love, longing, and domestic feeling and wider meditations on faith, doubt, memory, and artistic purpose. Short, varied pieces contrast joy and pain, sometimes adopting persona or dedicatory addresses and sometimes using nature and classical imagery to frame emotional states. The overall tone balances tender sincerity with contemplative restraint, turning commonplace moments and moral concerns into compact, image-driven meditations on the inner life.

THE RING OF AMETHYST.

BY
ALICE WELLINGTON ROLLINS


“He but only kissed
The fingers of this hand wherewith I write.
A ring of Amethyst
I could not wear here plainer to my sight
Than that first kiss.”
Mrs. Browning.
