The Millennium, and Other Poems To Which is Annexed, a Treatise on the Regeneration and Eternal Duration of Matter

A sweeping anthology of verse, this work gathers poems that sprang from the author’s life on distant frontiers, quiet forests, bustling towns and even a prison cell. Each piece carries the rhythm of its setting—whether the roar of Niagara’s falls, the stark silence of the White Mountains, or the hushed prayers whispered in captivity. The poems move from exuberant celebrations of a hoped‑for millennium to intimate reflections on loss, offering a vivid tapestry of 19th‑century spiritual experience.

Interwoven with the lyrical pages is a modest treatise on the “Regeneration and Eternal Duration of Matter,” a meditation born from the author’s own brush with death. Together they invite listeners to contemplate the promise of renewal, the endurance of faith, and the comfort that poetry can bring during life’s most trying moments. The collection feels like a companion for anyone seeking solace, inspiration, or a glimpse into a bygone era of earnest religious yearning.
