Synopsis

A widow’s tale and other poems, a collection of faith‑driven verse about love, loss, and endurance.

This edition presents Bernard Barton’s devotional and reflective poems, including the centerpiece A Widow's Tale. The poems span themes of steadfast faith, hopeful memory, and the quiet courage found in daily trials, all told in straightforward, accessible language. Readers will encounter scenes of sea passage, family bonds, and a contemplative gaze on God’s presence in ordinary life.

  • Characters guided by faith through hardship, including journeys at sea and moments of sorrow.
  • Prayerful meditations on God’s omnipresence, hope beyond grief, and the solace found in faith.
  • Nature‑driven imagery—sea, sky, fields, seasons—that grounds emotional reflection in everyday life.
  • Varied forms, from devotional verses to miscellaneous pieces, all oriented toward consolation and virtue.
Ideal for readers of 19th‑century devotional poetry, and for those seeking comforting, heartful verse about enduring love and faith in difficult times.
