Summary: "The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes — Volume 04: Songs in Many Keys" by Oliver Wendell Holmes is a collection of poems written during the mid-19th century. This volume showcases Holmes's poetic talents through a series of lyrical pieces, ballads, and reflections touching on themes of love, nature, the passage of time, and the human experience.
