Some Verses to Some Germans

First edition. 8vo., [ii], 10pp. Printed wraps with decorative border, stapled.

Sound copy, bar rear cover somewhat roughly separated from another stuck volume.

Poetry addressed to the German Nation, at the beginning of World War II, by the then Poet Laureate: '"Open the other shutter," and "More light,"/ Were Goethe's dying words a century past;/ Let in the beauty of the infinite/ Before the midnight of our ruin blast.' Prophetic words, indeed.
