The Forest Sanctuary, and Other Poems/Lays of Many Lands
LAYS OF MANY LANDS.
The following pieces may so far be considered a series, as each is intended to be commemorative of some national recollection, popular custom, or tradition. The idea was suggested by Herder's "Stimmen der Völker in Liedern;" the execution is however different, as the poems in his collection are chiefly translations.
Most of those forming the present one have appeared, as well as the miscellaneous pieces attached to them, in the New Monthly Magazine.
