About this ebook
“An April Song” is a collection of poetry by American poet Charles Hanson Towne. This fantastic collection will appeal to all lovers of the form, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Towne's wonderful work. The poems include: “The Ballad of Brother Anselm”, “Long Silent”, “Easter”, “Parting at a Station”, “Lilacs”, “Cities”, “Snow on her Hair”, “The Old Miracle”, “We Have Turned Again Home”, “Genius”, “'If Life Were Only Love'”, “The Terrorists”, “In Autumn”, “Ballade of Return”, “Suddenly Old”, “Autumn Going”, and more. Charles Hanson Towne (1877 – 1926) was an American author, poet, editor, and popular celebrity who became famous for being the 'quintessential New Yorker'. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of poetry.
