The New-York Book of Poetry

The New-York Book of Poetry is a compilation of poems written by NYC residents during the late 19th and early 20th century. Excerpt: «Many a sad, sweet thought have I, Many a passing, sunny gleam, Many a bright tear in mine eye, Many a wild and wandering dream, Stolen from hours I should have tied To musty volumes by my side, Given to hours that sweetly wooed My heart from its study's solitude.»
