Lays For The Dead (1834)

Lays For The Dead is a collection of poems written by Amelia Opie and first published in 1834. The book contains a series of elegiac poems that reflect on the themes of death, loss, grief, and remembrance. The poems are written in a variety of forms, including sonnets, ballads, and odes, and explore the emotions and experiences of those left behind after the passing of a loved one. Opie's writing is characterized by its sensitivity and compassion, and her poems offer a moving tribute to the memory of the dead. The book is a poignant and powerful exploration of the human experience of loss and mourning, and remains a classic of 19th-century poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
