Henry Ellison

1811–1880


Henry Ellison (1811–1880; death year as printed in the anthology) was an English poet, represented here by pieces from his volumes of verse.

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. From Mad Moments: Sonnet to the Gentian
  2. From Poetry of Real Life: To Wordsworth
  3. Fall of the Tear
