Synopsis

Powerful temperance verse for voices, pages, and public readings.

This collection presents a sequence of poems that argue for sobriety and social reform, using vivid stories and direct appeals to readers. It invites readers to reflect on the cost of drink and the value of temperance through accessible, memorable language.

This edition gathers poems that address drink’s harms, the call to pledge abstinence, and the moral questions around alcohol in communities. The pieces blend personal anecdote, public exhortation, and religious imagery to motivate action and empathy.
  • Accessible verses that critique cider, tea, and other intoxicants with clear, everyday language.
  • Examples of pledges, campaigns, and reflections on family and church life in the temperance movement.
  • Rousing refrains paired with quiet moral inquiries suitable for reading aloud or study.
  • Historical flavor that captures the tone of late 19th-century reform efforts.
Ideal for readers interested in temperance history, protest poetry, and public speaking through verse, this collection supports discussion and performance for clubs, classrooms, and families.
