Ethelbert White lived through the Great Depression in the United Kingdom, during the first year of which Eva Gore-Booth wrote her poem, The Vagrant\u2019s Romance<\/em>. Both pieces, along with <\/span>Frederick Delius\u2019s \u201cA Song of Summer\u201d<\/span> focus blissfully on the simple wonders and beauties of the world, rather than the grief that the UK experienced in that time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

\u201cWise with the lore of those hidden things, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Learnt from Lord Christ in His wanderings, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Beggar and reaper and shepherd and slave, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I am one who rests not in any grave; <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I will follow each stormy light divine, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And the secret of all things shall be mine. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

These things have I seen, would you bid me mourn <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

That I was never an Emperor born?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
