Sir Alfred Comyn Lyall

Sir Alfred Comyn Lyall (1835–1911) was a British civil servant in India, a literary historian and a poet. His Verses Written in India appeared in 1889.

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.
