The Heart of the Weed

"The Heart of the Weed" by Lilla Cabot Perry is a delicate and introspective collection of poetry that explores themes of love, loss, longing, and spiritual yearning. Rooted in the imagery of nature—especially the metaphor of a humble weed with a tender heart—the poems reflect on the beauty and pain of human experience. Perry, a prominent American poet influenced by both Transcendentalism and Impressionism, weaves emotional depth with graceful lyricism in this meditative volume.
"The Heart of the Weed" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1887.
