LibriVox volunteers bring you 20 recordings of Rhymes And Rhythms - IV by William Ernest Henley.

This was the Weekly Poetry project for April 9, 2023. ------

William Ernest Henley was an English poet, writer, critic and editor. A fixture in London literary circles, the one-legged Henley might have been the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's character Long John Silver (Treasure Island, 1883), while his young daughter Margaret Henley inspired J. M. Barrie's choice of the name Wendy for the heroine of his play Peter Pan (1904). This Weekly poem is section 4 of Rhymes And Rhythms taken from POEMS By WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY. - Summary by Wikipedia
