A last year's rose Text by William Ernest Henley Set by Roger Quilter (1877-1953), op. 14 no. 3. From the brake the Nightingale Sings exulting to the Rose; Though he sees her waxing pale In her passionate repose While she triumphs waxing frail, Fading even while she glows; Though he knows How it goes - Knows of last year's Nightingale, Dead with last year's Rose. Wise the enamoured Nightingale, Wise the well-beloved Rose! Love and life shall still prevail, Nor the silence at the close Break the magic of the tale In the telling, though it shows - Who but knows How it goes! Life a last year's Nightingale, Love a last year's Rose. Input by Ted Perry Back to the Lied and Song Texts Page

The Broadview Anthology of Victorian Poetry and Poetic Theory Broadview, 1999, 1492 pp., ISBN 1-55111-100-4, $35.95 Description: The Broadview Anthology of Victorian Poetry and Poetic Theory is the most comprehensive collection of poetry from the period ever published. Included are generous selections from the work of all major poets, and a representation of the work of virtually every poet of significance, from Thomas Ashe at the beginning of the era to Charlotte Mew at its end. The work of Victorian women poets features very prominently, with extensive selections not only of the work of canonical poets such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti, but also of that of poets such as Augusta Webster for which high claims have recently been made by critics. The anthology reflects (and will contributed to) the ongoing reassessment of the canon that is central to English Studies today; in all sixty-six poets are represented. The editors have included complete works wherever feasible including the complete texts of Tennyson's In Memoriam and of a number of other long poems. A headnote by the editors introduces the work of each poet, and each selection has been newly annotated.

39. W. E. Henley WE William Ernest Henley (18491903) poet, journalist, and editor. photograph,gelatin silver, 1899 by Walter Biggar Blaikie (1847-1928). http://www.1890s.org/wbsite/sub/henley.htm

poet, journalist, and editor by Walter Biggar Blaikie (1847-1928) If a career could be made in the late-Victorian period out of talking up Aestheticism and the philosophy of "art for art's sake," it was nearly as easy to gain fame by talking them down. Just as the existence of the "New Woman" called forth a host of professional anti-feminists, so the flourishing of Oscar Wilde's reputation and the transatlantic distribution of representations of his "unmanly" dress and appearance gave rise to a counter-movement which advanced the prospects of writers who carried the banner of muscular masculinity instead. Chief among these was W. E. Henley, editor first of the Scots Observer (which became the National Observer ) and then, in the late 1890s, of the New Review . This photograph of Henley is in the genre of the "author's study" shots so commonly reproduced in periodicals and volumes at the end of the centuryportraits that treated writers almost as zoological curiosities, captured in their lairs. What this image renders invisible, however, is that the broad-shouldered, barrel-chested Henley, who was thought to stand for the macho ideal of action could, in fact, hardly stand at all. He suffered from a virulent form of arthritis, lost a foot to it, and lived always with pain.
