Lord de Tabley (John Leicester Warren)

John Leicester Warren, third Baron de Tabley (1835–1895), was an English poet, classical scholar and student of botany and numismatics. His mature verse appeared in Poems, Dramatic and Lyrical (1893; a second series followed in 1895) and was admired by later poets.

The poems given here are taken from Edmund H. Garrett's anthology Victorian Songs: Lyrics of the Affections and Nature (Boston: Little, Brown, 1895).
