Margaret Schuyler Sternbergh wrote these poems over the course of her life. Written at a time when women were meant to be docile and submissive they reveal a vital and passionate spirit.They touch on the death of a child on the joy of love and the pain of unrequited love on the wonder of man and despair at his destructiveness.They reveal a life-long struggle for justice and goodness.Not discovered until after her death the poems are remarkable for their lyrical beauty and intensity of feeling.They are presented here as a remembrance of her indomitable spirit.
