So don't expect anything really spectacular among her works.
And yet, it isn't bad. The "Song of Sevens" is a fascinating concept: A woman tells of her life in seven scenes, seven years apart: Exultation, Romance, Love, Maternity, Widowhood, Giving in Marriage, Longing for Home. These chapters vary in style and approach (and quality), but the first is a moving depiction of childhood:
There’s no dew left on the daisies and clover,
There’s no rain left in heaven;
I’ve said my “seven times” over and over,
Seven times one are seven.
I am old, I am old, I can write a letter;
My birthday lessons are done;
The lambs play always, they know no better;
They are only one times one.
Dig enough and you may find a few other small gems. Big ones -- probably not.
Ingelow also wrote fairy tales for children, notably "Mopsa the Fairy." Those tales are not included in this book. Too bad, really; the plot of "Mopsa" is intriguing. ( )
