Dark of the Moon

A gently haunting anthology of early‑twentieth‑century verse, this collection weaves together the quiet intensity of nature with the restless stirrings of the heart. The language moves with a musical ease, turning ordinary scenes into vivid emotional sketches. The poems linger between reverence for the landscape and the intimate whisper of personal yearning.

In pieces like “On the Sussex Downs,” the rolling hills become a kingdom of solitude, while “August Night” draws the listener into a moonlit wood where glow‑worms flicker like tiny stars. “Two Minds” lifts the mind to a realm where thoughts dance together, and “Mountain Water” captures the crisp rush of a spring descending from lofty heights. Each work balances clear images with a soft, lingering melancholy.

Listening feels like stepping into a quiet garden at dusk, where every line invites reflection and a gentle sigh. The lyrical flow makes it an ideal companion for moments of calm, offering a tender presence for evening contemplation or a tranquil backdrop to a thoughtful day.
