Summary: "Collected Poems in Two Volumes, Vol. II" by Austin Dobson is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. This volume showcases a variety of lyrical poems that explore themes such as love, nostalgia, nature, and the passage of time, reflecting a keen observation of the world and a rich emotional landscape. The verses include ballads and more structured forms, often characterized by a light, playful tone mixed with deeper philosophical reflections. The opening of the collection presents a distinctly whimsical tone, beginning with the poem "At the Sign of the Lyre," where the poet welcomes readers to enjoy a selection of songs and ballads, promising pleasure and engagement with the lyrical form. The subsequent pieces, starting with "The Ladies of St. James's," juxtapose the charm of rustic beauty, embodied in the character Phyllida, with the artificiality of high society. Using vivid imagery and accessible language, the poems invite readers into scenes that are both relatable and richly decorated with emotional depth, setting the stage for the diverse themes and styles that Dobson employs throughout the volume.
