Success! I was able to photocopy the two missing poetry books, SONGS OF GREATER BRITAIN (1899) and WINGS OF THE MORNING (1904) while I was at the British Library in London during our visit to the UK in October. I found the Library staff very helpful.

I will be adding the 150 poems in these books to the collection of 400 at the Oldpoetry website under Cicely Fox Smith.

As with the poems from her other early work THE FOREMOST TRAIL, these poems tend to be patriotic and jingoistic, unlike much of her later work. But the early poems do add perspective to the kind of young woman she was before she gained more life experience.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
