The Poetical Works of Thomas Campbell'The Poetical Works of Thomas Campbell' is a treasure trove of beautiful poems by the Scottish poet, Thomas Campbell. Campbell was a major figure in the literary and intellectual life of his time. His poem 'The Pleasures of Hope' is a masterpiece of 18th-century poetry, and he was also renowned for his patriotic war songs, including 'Ye Mariners of England', 'The Soldier's Dream', and 'The Battle of the Baltic'. Campbell's lyricism and sensitivity are also on full display in delicate pieces such as 'Lord Ullin's Daughter', as seen from this excerpt: "A chieftain to the Highlands bound / Cries, "Boatman, do not tarry! / And I'll give thee a silver pound / To row us o'er the ferry." |
