‎First edition. Plain cream paper covers. Stapled. Half title, title, dedication with acknowledgments to the verso. An attractive frontis illustration by Grace Furneaux Wood. Although there are no titles to the text, the acknowledgment would suggest that this is a collection of poems, rather than one long poem. The cream covers have a mottling of foxing to them, a few marks, but still tidy. Internally clean and tidy, although many of the paragraphs of the poem have pencil lines highlighting them in the margins. Overall in sound condition. 24 pages. Mary Winter Were (later Hughes Were). published a number of predominately Roman Catholic poetry collections.‎
