Synopsis

Moorland Ruth: And Other Poems by Rawnsley Dawtrey is a nineteenth-century verse collection that blends rustic narrative with devotional lyric. The central long poem, Moorland Ruth, follows Ruth, a shepherd’s daughter, as she navigates love and filial duty beneath the moorland hills, against a father’s measured concern for virtue and salvation. Interwoven are shorter pieces on love, marriage, mortality, and faith, including We Part at Last, Sabbath in the Village, The Vagrant, The Silent Shore, Nearer to the Angels, The Angel Wife, and Christmas Chimes. The poems move from pastoral celebrations of nature to meditations on death, redemption, and the solace of religious belief, often expressed in plain diction and traditional rhyme. The collection invites reflection on virtue, family, and the afterlife through richly imagined landscapes and moral fables. This edition is a 2019 reprint.
