A selection of the writer's greatest nature poetry, selected by Tom Paulin, published in a beautiful new edition by Faber.
At once a voice arose among
The bleak twigs overheadIn a full-hearted evensong
Of joy illimited;An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume,Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom . . .
-The Darkling Thrush
