John Mason Neale

1818–1866


John Mason Neale (1818–1866) was an English Anglican priest, scholar and hymn-writer.

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. Evening

  4. Jerusalem
