John Frederick Freeman was an English poet and essayist, who gave up a successful career in insurance to write full-time. He was born in London and started as an office boy aged 13. He was a close friend of Walter de la Mare from 1907, who lobbied hard with Edward Marsh to get Freeman into the Georgian Poetry series; with eventual success. De la Mare's biographer Theresa Whistler describes him as "tall, gangling, ugly, solemn, punctilious". This poem is taken from POEMS NEW AND OLD By John Freeman (1920) - Summary by David Lawrence
