"Sixteen Poems" by William Allingham

This short edition from 1905 is perhaps most notable because the poetry therein was selected by a compatriot poet, the renowned W B Yeats. Poetry as an art form predates written text, with the earliest poetry having been recited or sung, and employed as a way of remembering oral history. This collection from Allingham is an example of timeless poetry that will create beauty for many years.
