Edward Henry Bickersteth

1825–1906


Edward Henry Bickersteth (1825–1906) was an English Anglican bishop of Exeter, a poet and hymn-writer.

The poems here are taken from Alfred H. Miles (ed.), The Poets and the Poetry of the Century (London: Hutchinson, 1891–1897), vol. 10, from the Internet Archive scans of that edition. Spelling is that of the anthology; Miles's biographical essay and extracts from longer poems are omitted, and only poems that could be read cleanly from the scan are included.

  1. Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
