Heart’s Ease - (Locheven)
In this lyrical collection, the poet invites listeners to step through a small window onto a vast, ever‑changing landscape. Each piece captures a fleeting moment—twilight mist over spring woods, a brook humming through a gorge, the quiet song of a thrush at dusk—and renders it in vivid, musical language. The verses move from the sparkle of snow‑white trilliums to the silver hush of moonlit seas, offering a mosaic of color, scent, and sound that feels both intimate and expansive.
The work also threads a subtle, reverent thread through the natural scenes, hinting at a quiet presence that watches over the woodlands, the hills, and the flowing water. Listeners find calm in the steady cadence of leaves rustling, bird wings beating, and water lapping against stone, making the collection a gentle meditation on beauty and gratitude. Ideal for moments of reflection, the poems linger like a soft breeze, encouraging the mind to pause and breathe.

These quiet, early-20th-century poems look closely at nature, reflection, and everyday feeling, turning small moments into gentle, thoughtful verse. Though little biographical information survives, the work itself leaves the impression of a writer drawn to calm observation and inward life.
