Poems (Classic Reprint)

This book presents the combined poems of Cecil Frances Humphreys, a prolific and acclaimed writer whose work was widely recognised during her lifetime. Born in 1837, she created over six hundred pieces—both religious and secular, and many written for children. Today, her hymns are sung all over the world in churches and chapels, such as 'There is a green hill far away'. The collection demonstrates the author's range, including poems commemorating individuals significant to her, as well as thought-provoking meditations on the Old and New Testaments. This comprehensive volume offers an extensive and diverse exploration of themes such as hope, faith, love, and loss.
