| Summary |
"Home Lyrics: A Book of Poems" by H. S. Battersby is a collection of poetry likely written in the late 19th century. This volume features a range of subjects tied to themes of love, remembrance, nature, home life, and poignant reflections on loss and grief, underpinning the rich emotional and moral fabric that defines human experience. The opening of this poignant collection begins with a touching dedication to the author’s beloved son, invoking themes of memory and eternal love. The poems that follow, such as “Birdies” and “The Angel on War,” present a variety of perspectives—from the innocence of a mother bird teaching her fledglings to the somber realities of war and its impact on humanity. This initial portion emphasizes a deep connection to both the personal (the author's familial bonds and memories) and the broader human condition, setting a reflective tone that resonates throughout the volume.
