Poems by David Gray with Memoirs of His Life

1864. This volume of the works of the Scottish poet David Gray contains his principal poem, The Luggie, which is a kind of reverie in which the scenes and events of his childhood and his early aspirations are mingled with the music of the stream which he celebrates. The series of sonnets, In the Shadows, was composed during the latter part of his illness. Many of his poems bear traces of immaturity, and echoes the words of the great poets of his time, but they do possess distinct individuality, and show a real appreciation of natural beauty.
