This book is a collection of poems written by Edward Bulwer Lytton, an English author and politician who is remembered today for coining famous phrases like "pursuit of the almighty dollar", "the pen is mightier than the sword", and "it was a dark and stormy night". In this book, a complete collection of his poems are presented, with some of the featured titles being 'The First Violets', 'Absent, Yet Present', 'The Last Crusader', and 'Talent and Genius'. Here's an excerpt from 'The First Violets': "Who that has loved knows not the tender tale / Which flowers reveal, when lips are coy to tell? / Whose youth has paused not, dreaming, in the vale / Where the rath violets dwell?"
