THE SONG.
In this connection see Burns, Moore, Tennyson, together with Scotch collections and the work of W. B. Yeats and other modern Irish writers.
For rhythm and a different sort of "song" see Kipling. The Vagabondia Series by Bliss Carman and Richard Hovey are worth buying. Occasional poems, falling under this head, are to be found in almost any volume of the poets.
VERS DE SOCIeTe.
About the best single book is a volume in the Leisure Hour Series ent.i.tled "Vers de Societe." It gives an excellent idea of the field covered. Among the strongest writers of this style of verse are Austin Dobson, C. S. Calverley, Andrew Lang, W. M. Praed and H. C. Bunner.
Perhaps the best known English writer of to-day is Owen Seaman, whose work appears weekly in _Punch_.
NONSENSE VERSE.
Mother Goose.
The Burgess Nonsense Book--Gelett Burgess.
A Nonsense Anthology--Carolyn Wells.
A Parody Anthology--Carolyn Wells.
HUMOROUS BALLADS.
Bab Ballads--W. S. Gilbert.
Grimm Tales Made Gay--Guy Wetmore Carryl.
Nautical Ballads of a Landsman--Wallace Irwin.
TRANSLATIONS.
It is difficult to quote any translator in particular who is worth while. Most translators are not poets and most poets have not been translators. The book of solid translation is generally very mediocre and tiresome. Translations of the greatest foreign poets are to be found in any fair-sized public library. Longfellow, Swinburne, Rossetti, Dobson, Lang and a few others have left occasional translations which are models of the best of this work.
