Project Gutenberg 1999-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 50 Thompson, Francis 1859 1907 Sister Songs: An Offering to Two Sisters Transcribed from the 1908 Burns and Oates edition by David Price "Sister Songs: An Offering to Two Sisters" by Francis Thompson is a poetic collection written during the late 19th century, likely around the Victorian era. This book is a unique offering that celebrates the bond of sisterhood and the beauty of nature, exploring themes of love, innocence, and the transcendent qualities of spring. The poem unfolds in various parts, each adorned with vivid imagery and rich metaphors symbolizing the connection between the speaker and the two sisters, Monica and Madeline Meynell, to whom the work is dedicated. Through the personification of nature, particularly in the guise of the goddess Spring, Thompson expresses admiration, longing, and a deep emotional resonance with the purity and innocence of childhood. The verses blend romantic idealism with a gentle nostalgia, culminating in a heartfelt tribute to the sisters that intertwines their existence with the cycle of nature, enchanting readers with its lyrical beauty while capturing the essence of familial love and companionship.
