Winter Words In Various Moods And Metres
Macmillan, 1928.
First edition. 8vo. Publisher's original green cloth, titled in gilt and stamped in gilt with Hardy's insignia, in the printed buff dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, entirely unopened, with just a couple of spots to the top edge and bump to one corner, in a very near fine dustwrapper. A most handsome copy of this volume of poetry.
Winter Words is a collection of 105 poems, which Hardy had been assembling at the time of his death in January 1928. From the 'Introductory Note' which he had drafted it would appear he had planned to bring the volume out on his birthday in June 1928, but already foresaw it as 'probably my last appearance on the literary stage' and had chosen for its close 'He Resolves To Say No More' (Purdy).
