Digby Mackworth Dolben

1848–1867


Digby Mackworth Dolben (1848–1867) was an English poet who died young by drowning. His poems were published after his death, edited by his cousin Robert Bridges.

The poems printed here are those given in The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse (1917), edited by D. H. S. Nicholson and A. H. E. Lee; the text is taken from that anthology.
