Queen Elizabeth II and Poetry. A small anthology of poems for the Queen. This second volume contains the remaining 30 of 50 poems and ballads in German and English that an admirer named Elizabeth sent to the Queen between 1966 and 2015, presumably: Who rides so late through night and wind ... I think of you when the sun's gleam ... When the first morning ray flies ... Cover your sky, Zeus ... When numbers and figures are no more ... Only those who know longing ... Above all peaks / Is peace ... This is an autumn day like I have never seen ... The anthology brings together small and large works of art by Arnim, Brentano, Eichendorff, Geibel, George, Goethe, Grillparzer, Hebbel, Heine, Hölderlin, Novalis, Rilke, Schiller, Storm and Wolfenstein, among others. Read familiar and discover new favourite poems to enjoy, ponder and continue writing poetry.
