Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Cape Cod Ballads and Other Verse" by Joseph Crosby Lincoln is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The poems reflect the charm and character of coastal New England, particularly focusing on life in Cape Cod, with themes that encompass the struggles and joys of local characters and the landscapes that surround them. At the start of the collection, Lincoln introduces readers to various aspects of life through vivid imagery and heartfelt emotion. The opening poem, "The Cod-Fisher," captures the essence of a fisherman braving the harsh Atlantic, drawing a parallel between the relentless sea and the steadfast love of those waiting at home. Following this, "The Song of the Sea" evokes nostalgia and the magic of youthful dreams awakened by the sounds of the ocean. These pieces set the tone for a nostalgic journey through simpler times, with each poem encapsulating moments from rural and seaside life, filled with descriptions that celebrate the trials, joys, and everyday experiences of its people.
