Song Without Rhymes

Song Without Rhymes is a book of poems written by an anonymous author who identifies themselves only as a graduate of one of the universities. Published in 1841 the collection consists of poems in several different kinds of verse all of which are formed on a principle that the author claims has not been previously applied to English poetry. The principle in question is not described in detail but it appears to involve the use of a regular meter and rhythm without the use of rhyming words. The poems themselves cover a range of subjects from love and nature to politics and religion and are written in a variety of styles including sonnets ballads and odes. Despite the absence of rhyme the poems are said to be musical and pleasing to the ear with a flow and cadence that is comparable to traditional rhyming verse. The author's identity remains unknown but their work has been praised for its innovation and originality and has been studied by scholars of English poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
