Summary: "New Poems" by Francis Thompson is a collection of poetic works written in the early 20th century. The poems explore themes of love, spirituality, and nature, reflecting Thompson's rich imagination and deep emotional resonance.

The beginning of "New Poems" features a dedication to Coventry Patmore, a fellow poet, indicating the personal significance of the work.
