Sir Lewis Morris

1833–1907

Sir Lewis Morris (1833–1907) was a Welsh poet writing in English, best known for The Epic of Hades (1876–77).

The poems here are taken from Alfred H. Miles (ed.), The Poets and the Poetry of the Century (London: Hutchinson, 1891–1897), vol. 5, 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.
