A happy New Year, and other verses by Charles Edward de la Poer Beresford
"A Happy New Year, and other verses" by Charles Edward de la Poer Beresford is a collection of poetry published in the early 20th century, likely during the 1910s. This anthology features a variety of verses that address themes of love, nature, history, and personal reflection. The work emerges from the backdrop of the Edwardian era, a period characterized by significant cultural and social change. The collection includes poems such as "A
Happy New Year," where Beresford conveys well-wishes to various groups of people, and "Queen Tamar’s Castle," which explores historical and romantic imagery. Other highlights include "Ulster’s Prayer," reflecting deep-rooted cultural sentiments, and "The Fisherman’s Dream," which merges the allure of mythology with a fisherman’s aspirations. Through its diverse themes and styles, this collection not only showcases Beresford's ability to capture emotions and landscapes but also serves as a cultural snapshot of early 20th-century sentiments and poetic expression.
