    About this ebook

    Originating from the Christian community of southern Europe during late antiquity, the term 'pagan' was used to refer to any religions that were not related the three Abrahamic religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. “Poems of Paganism; or, Songs of Life and Love” is collection of 60 'pagan' songs compiled by L. Cranmer-Byng and first published in 1895. Contents include: “A Patriot Poet”, “A Prayer for Peace”, “All that I Have”, “Au Revoir—Not Adieu!”, “Christian and Pagan”, “Cloud, Wind and Rain”, “Concerning Truth and Art”, “Cupid's Sleep”, “Despair”, “Good-bye, Love!”, “Haunted”, “Heart of Stone”, “Hesitation”, “Homeward Bound”, “Ignorant Roses”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming 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.
