Songs of Two Nations is a collection of poems by Algernon Charles Swinburne, a prominent English poet and critic of the Victorian era. The book was first published in 1875 and contains 26 poems that explore the themes of nationalism, patriotism, and political unrest. The collection is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on England and the second part on Italy. The poems in the first part of the book express Swinburne's love for England and his concern for the country's political and social issues. He writes about the struggles of the working class, the corruption of the government, and the need for political reform. The second part of the book is dedicated to Italy, a country that Swinburne admired for its beauty, culture, and history. The poems in this section celebrate Italy's landscapes, art, and people, while also addressing the country's political turmoil and the fight for independence.Overall, Songs of Two Nations is a powerful collection of poems that reflect Swinburne's passionate beliefs and his love for two countries that were undergoing significant changes during the Victorian era. The book is considered one of Swinburne's most important works and is a testament to his skill as a poet and his influence on English literature.Who shall help me? who shall take me by the hand? Who shall teach mine eyes to see, my feet to stand, Now my foes have stripped and wounded me by night? Who shall heal me? who shall come to take my part? Who shall set me as a seal upon his heart, As a seal upon his arm made bare for fight?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
