Poems (English verse)

St. John of the Cross

The poems of St. John of the Cross in the English verse of the 1912-1919 Lewis/Zimmerman volume (the Dark Night, the Song of the Soul and the Bridegroom, the Living Flame, the Ecstasy, the Creation, the Incarnation, Super Flumina Babylonis and others, with a second group of translations of the Spanish songs). The English is a different selection and division from Silverio's Spanish Poesias, so it is its own book. Verse translators are not named in the scan's poems section.
