Narrative and Lyric Poems (first series) for use in the Lower School by Stevenson
"Narrative and Lyric Poems (First Series) for Use in the Lower School" by O. J. Stevenson is a collection of poetry aimed at educational use in lower school settings, likely written in the early 20th century. This anthology includes a variety of narrative and lyric poems intended to enhance literary appreciation among young students, covering themes from love and nature to heroism and history through well-regarded works by poets like Moore, Scott,
and Macaulay. The opening of the book provides a preface that outlines its purpose and organization, emphasizing the suitability of the selected poems for public school examinations and the importance of a graded approach to poetry for students. It includes a diverse mix of poems like "The Meeting of the Waters" by Moore, which conveys the beauty of friendship and nature, and Macaulay's "Horatius," a narrative poem that recounts the legendary defense of a bridge by the valiant Horatius against overwhelming odds. The beginning sets a scholarly tone, highlighting the educational intent and the significance of the poems chosen for young readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
