Fugitive Verses is a collection of poems written by Joanna Baillie, a Scottish poet and playwright who lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The collection contains a variety of poems, including sonnets, ballads, and odes, and covers a wide range of themes, from nature and love to politics and religion. Baillie’s writing is known for its emotional depth and sensitivity, and her poems often explore the complexities of the human experience. Fugitive Verses is a testament to Baillie’s skill as a poet and her enduring legacy in the world of literature.The birds now quit their holes and lurking sheds, Most mute and melancholy, where through night, All nestling close to keep each other warm, In downy sleep they had forgot their hardships; But not to chant and carol in the air, Or lightly swing upon some waving bough.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
