Robin's Come and Whimsy in a Light Morning
A collage of verses and light verse figures from a 19th century issue. The Robin’s Come poem speaks of spring’s arrival, awakening nature and a cottage life scene with birds, flowers, cowslips, and daffodils. A second piece, Smith Drunk vs. Smith Sober, mixes comic diary-like anecdotes and temperance satire, ending with advertisements for Rockbridge Alum and Bennett & Brers drugs. The blend captures period local verse, humor, and commercial notices.
