The Emigrants is a narrative poem written by Charlotte Turner Smith, first published in 1793. The poem tells the story of a group of emigrants leaving England for a new life in America. The narrator, who is one of the emigrants, describes the hardships and challenges they face on their journey, including sickness, storms, and the loss of loved ones. The poem also explores themes of displacement, loss, and the search for a new home. Smith's writing is characterized by its emotional intensity and vivid descriptions of nature, which serve to heighten the sense of isolation and vulnerability experienced by the emigrants. Overall, The Emigrants is a powerful and moving work that offers a poignant reflection on the human experience of migration and the struggle to find a sense of belonging in a new land.SLOW in the Wintry Morn, the struggling light Throws a faint gleam upon the troubled waves; Their foaming tops, as they approach the shore And the broad surf that never ceasing breaks On the innumerous pebbles, catch the beams.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
