Verses on Various Occasions

John Henry Newman

Newman's collected poems, 1818 to 1865, as he gathered them in 1867 and dedicated to his friend Badeley: the verses of his Oxford youth, the poems of the Mediterranean voyage of 1832-33 including Lead, Kindly Light, the Lyra Apostolica pieces of the Oxford Movement, and the hymns and poems of his Catholic years. The Dream of Gerontius, which belongs to the same volume, is a book of its own.
